  1. Re:What about other options on Wide-Scale US Wind Power Could Cause Significant Warming, Study Says (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 1

    Problem is it's being kept in many places, and no the possible contamination in event of spent fuel pool fire would dwarf even coal's. We're doing nuclear the stupid way. Sure there are smart ways, and even that spent fuel could be gold mine of energy, but that's not what is being done in these united states and not what will happen. better not to do it at all, we don't need it now. the united states of america is far too fucking stupid for nuclear power, and the Gen I and Gen II reactors it has are very dangerous.

    that's okay, it's hardly provably "quantum resistant" anyway; it's the same as any other encryption in that regard. Bunch of marketing hooey is all...

    toxic wastes that linger for tens of thousands of years, and risky spent fuel pools that if cooling were interrupted would produce the equivalent contamination of several reactors without containment melting down.

    Any downsides to nuclear can be based on facts.

    Those Toyota in California run on hydrogen which is 70% made from fossil fuel, hahaha. That's because cracking water is a money losing deal.

    you remember no such thing, this was the very first test of the system.

    how clueless, President Barack Obama signed the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System Modernization Act of 2015.

    And the messages are from FEMA.

    Beside this fools in major media outlets are embarrassing themselves with their ignorance, spewing about "Trump's messages"

  11. okay, let's forget about reactors, the real danger is the spent fuel ponds. those are a more massive danger than the reactors.

    I'm not lying, I speak from reason. I've worked as engineer at nuke plant, have you?

  14. wow you seem to be ignoring the extend and harm of a few nuclear plant disasters in the past few decades. problems not local at all, cross many countries.

    while I'm not anti-nuclear let's not sugar coat the truth

    really solar and energy storage tech has become efficient enough we should go that route, we don't need nuclear any more

  15. why even worry? seriously, texting designed for 99% percent casual and occasional comm like "booty calls" and "pick up milk & eggs on way home"
