Wow you are dumb. I provide facts that contradict your preconceived notions, but you are incapable of understanding or accepting them.
Your projection is noted.
I do not think you know what nuclear waste is.
It's hard to get a fan of nuclear power to understand something when his fanboyism is dependent on his not understanding it. That was an example of a industrial accident. Nuke fans want to count every windmill worker who falls off a tower as a casualty of wind power. But you don't count workers who die in uranium mining accidents as a casualty of nuclear power - another kind of industrial accident. Or if Homer runs over Lenny with a forklift - an industrial accident.
Of course I have, but what does that have to due with nuclear energy?
That terminal cancer can take years or decades to manifest - like I said the first time. To waive your hands after a meltdown and say "hey, nobody died this morning so it's no big whoop" is nonsense. The uranium miners that die from exposure to dust or TB - many times what the CDC expected - didn't keel over their first day on the job, either.
Stop me when solar and wind can work 24/7, or when storage is cheaper then Nuclear.
You think wind stops at night? Nuke fan elevators really don't go to the top floor, do they? All you do with wind and solar is space generating capacity across the grid, same as with coal or nuclear power. As for storage, there's no need for hand wringing when '70's technology will suffice - 1870's. There are water reservoirs and hydroelectric dam's still functioning today that are more than a century old. If pumped storage is good enough for nuclear power - the Ludington facility backs up nuclear power plants in Michigan - it's good enough for wind and solar.
Cost is the Achilles heel of nuclear power. When you can build more power generation in less time for less money with none of the safety or long term costs - nuclear power is unjustifiable.
You copy and paste that from a 2003 post, smearing an Iraq war skeptic as a Saddam supporter? And for that psyop they actually presented evidence - faked evidence, but they presented it at the UN. Now they aren't bothering with evidence at all, and people like you are eating their shit up with a spoon, and attacking anyone who doesn't join you for second and third helpings.
The invasion and occupation of Iraq has cost a million lives and trillions of dollars. Just WTF do you geniuses think the cost will be of a hot war with Russia?
You are relentless. Trying to avoid getting nerve gassed like the guy in the UK?
Trying to avoid human extinction brought on purely, utterly and entirely from Western Exceptionalist assholes. The evidence of the U.S. and its allies fucking with the rest of the world and Russia in particular could fill an encyclopedia set. As opposed to the evidence of Russian "meddling" in the US 2016 election, which thus far is non-existent.
So my statement was delusions of grandeur on its face.
FTFY. Again, industrial accidents are NOT a failure of the energy technology itself. Otherwise, every dead or injured uranium miner, every person who trips on the steps going to work at the nuclear power plant, every single butterfingers who drops a canister of nuclear waste can be counted as a failure of nuclear energy.
First Fukushima killed 0 people, and Chernobyl was less then 60 according the World Health Organization.
Try 34 to 50 people during the immediate evacuation. And have none of you nuclear fanbois heard of mesothelioma? It can take decades for exposure from a substance to form terminal cancer, but that does nothing to change what gave you a disease in the first place.
You should research 4th generation reactors especially Small Modular Reactors.
Hand waiving and vaporware. Nuclear power will never be cost competitive with wind or solar, as the latter have none of refinement/construction/security/waste/decommission issues the safest nuke plant in your wettest dream will have to deal with.
What you provided was propaganda about Russian propaganda:
After the Russian invasion of Crimea and its activities in eastern Ukraine in 2014, the term "hybrid warfare" became a buzzword both in European political circles and in the public sphere. Russia's annexation of neighboring territory with the help of "little green men," and its deliberate instigation of violent conflict through the infiltration of separatists in eastern Ukraine took the West completely by surprise. Although "hybrid warfare" is by no means a new phenomenon, scholars and politicians are still having difficulty agreeing on what exactly constitutes Russian "hybrid warfare" - let alone what the appropriate response should be.
1) Russia had an existing base in Crimea. If moving troops through that base is an "invasion", then the United States invades the fuck out of Germany many times each year in its 20+ military bases in that country.
2) The US overthrew the elected government of Ukraine. Anyone who leaves that fact out of the discussion is a sophist of the highest order, spitting out propaganda.
3) After overthrowing the Ukrainian government, the U.S. started moving to give the junta weapons and eventually join NATO. If the USSR had overthrown Canada and brought it into the Warsaw Pact, it's not as if the US would sit around with its thumb up its ass.
So's the idea that the moon landings were faked. Lunar conspiracy theorists can also rattle off a long series of talking points that fail to withstand any degree of scrutiny.
The only people who deny they interfered are some Trump supporters and Putin's sock-puppets.
Then you'll have no problem with laying off the McCarthyite dipshittery and proving your case, then.
Does it? You could be polled on what you think the price is of rice in China. Does answering that question mean it's important to you? Give people a list of issues to rank, or allow them to fill in a list of their own concerns, and Russiagate is not likely to be high on that list. Compared to the economy, health care, debt, etc etc.
So are the Clintons - that doesn't mean that they had Vince Foster murdered. It's amazing how Russiagate turns a bunch of otherwise rational people into a bunch of mouth breathers.
There is plenty of evidence that Russian trolls tried to profit from clickbait.
FTFY. The notion that a few trolls swung an election with a few thousand dollars in ads, many of which were placed after the election and nothing to do with politics, in a race where one candidate spent over a billion dollars just proves the capacity of human beings to engage in willful dumbfuckery.
This is where you are correct. We're way past "collusion".
No collusion, no Russiagate. It doesn't matter if Putin himself came over and hacked voting machines to deny Hillary the vote, if there is no collusion with Trump then Mueller has no basis for his witch hunt.
Ah yes, the one thing that is a pretty sure bet whenever Russia comes up in the news in a none positive way is whataboutism.
Ah yes, when reminded that your sins are infinitely greater than the thing you criticize you whine like a bitch to deflect from your hypocrisy.
Russian trolls did a very similar thing during German, French, UK and Italian elections.
Prove it. Russiagate is real long on assertions and non-existent on facts. Like the whackjobs that insist to this day that Obama wasn't born in Hawaii and has a fake birth certificate.
I wonder how much time Cheney spends kicking himself these days. Why go through all the trouble of faking evidence of Saddam's WMD's when he could have made a series of vague, ever-changing series of assertions and people would just suck that shit up with a straw?
I think it have something to do with them wanting to watch Putin fuck over their country while Trump molests their sister/wife that makes them project everyone as cucks.
Democrats attack Trump from the right and then wonder why people wont vote for their shit party.
You mean like when Obama was hounded into not just rejecting Farrakhan's endorsement, but denouncing and rejecting? Photos at events are toilet paper. Somebody's going to take a photo of Trump shaking Kim Jung Un's hand when they meet - doesn't mean Trump is chummy with NK.
Not just a hand waiver but a pretentious hand waiver. The cost of floods, fires, hurricanes, tornadoes (all worsened by climate change) are already measured in hundreds of billions per year. Wind and solar are cost-competitive with coal, and that's allowing coal to externalize most of its costs.
The only losers in climate change mitigation are shareholders in fossil fuel companies.
My solution is nuclear energy which is the safest form of power.
False on its face, given that the number of deaths from solar or wind technology is zero, as opposed to Chernobyl or Fukushima. If someone falls off a wind tower and dies that's an industrial accident, same as if Homer Simpson accidentally runs over Lenny with a forklift at the local nuclear power plant. When a wind farm starts a deadly tornado, or a solar farm accidentally forms an Archimedes mirror, then we can talk about which form is safest.
But not before then. And putting the issue of safety aside completely, nuclear power is completely unjustifiable based on cost alone.
Zombie talking point. Wind and solar power generation would be spaced across a grid - same as coal and nuclear are. Excess power may be saved via a pumped storage facility like the Ludington plant in Michigan - which is used to back up a nuclear power plant - to be used when needed.
Iraq war was funded by the US govt. It was a national effort. This train is a state project.
Interstate highway system is a national effort. No reason a high-speed rail network should not be.
Secondly, just because you wasted a lot of money on a big worthless project in the past, doesn't make it okay to keep on wasting money on further worthless projects.
If the interstate highway system had started five years ago, it would also be a "big worthless project" and completing it would involve an astronomical sum.
Boards and shareholders should be stringing the cable execs up by their gonads, because they are the ones who are selling out the companies they work for.
Aren't boards and shareholders the ones demanding the aforementioned year-over-year growth from the CEO least he be fired and replaced with one that will deliver?
Democrats aren't the left - they're just another variety of right-wing asshole, and as often as not are more extreme than the Republicans they claim to oppose.

And there's as much evidence to suggest that as there is that one of the Clinton's staffers shot Vince Foster.
Really.

The article is propaganda about propaganda. I copied and pasted a paragraph and responded to it directly - did you even look at your own link?
If the USSR had overthrown Canada and brought it into the Warsaw Pact, it's not as if the US would sit around with its thumb up its ass.
^ repeated for those engaging in so much willful dumbfuckery they can't see a straight up cause & effect scenario when it's in front of their face.

Where do you think federal highways go through - outer space? How many times were you dropped on the head as a child?

Dumbfuckery.

The cost of mitigating climate change is insignificant next to the costs of not addressing it, plus mitigation will create many jobs in the process.
Zombie talking point. Wind and solar power generation would be spaced across a grid - same as coal and nuclear are. Excess power may be saved via a pumped storage facility like the Ludington plant in Michigan - which is used to back up a nuclear power plant - to be used when needed.

Yep - it's like when Blockbuster announced they would back off on late fees, when they were already bleeding out from a self-inflicted mortal wound.
Aren't boards and shareholders the ones demanding the aforementioned year-over-year growth from the CEO least he be fired and replaced with one that will deliver?
