You'd think multiple reactors fully melting down and a few more partially melting would practically be the end of Japan, but somehow it's been contained to releasing about 20% as much as Chernobyl did. Eh, it's just Goofus and Gallant with the former shitfaced on vodka to boot.

Cool NIN Shirt posted:You're fucktarded. If your entire argument is nuclear power is bad because a woefully managed and badly placed nuclear plant had a meltdown due to a highly destructive earthquake, all you've actually made is an argument for better sites, safety standards and oversight. Now if your argument is how do we safely store nuclear waste, you have a compelling argument about the long-term costs of nuclear power. But it your argument is flowers have mutated because of a preventable meltdown so we should ban nuclear power, then your argument is simplistic and primarily an appeal to raw emotion. Hint: I don't even support nuclear energy, at least not as cure-all solution to energy problems. But your post almost makes me want to support it.

libertarian dude on my facebook posted a climate change denying article the other day and i asked him if he saw any merit to using renewable energy just based on the fact that it wont run out, regardless of issues with climate change and he said "yeah but i think the markets will trend towards that when the time is right" and i just responded with "lol"

^^ I saw an article some years ago, how the Japanese(?) were developing this mini-reactor. Something like, the size of a car or whatever, had enough fuel for 10 or 30 years and could power a good sized factory just by itself. The White Dragon posted:fans of nuclear power aren't advocates of letting your facilities loving rot to the point where inspectors come around and tell you "holy poo poo this isn't a matter of 'if' this plant melts down, it's just straight up when," which is an actual thing that happened like a couple weeks before the fukushima disaster And it STILL took a loving 9.0 quake AND a tsunami to actually do any breaching. Sounds pretty goddamn safe to me.

Johnny Aztec posted:And it STILL took a loving 9.0 quake AND a tsunami to actually do any breaching. Not to mention that it was an outdated plant with somewhat lax safety measures. I remember seeing a coal plant destroyed in that same quake that was just puking black, oily soot into the air. I wonder why no one lost their poo poo over that.

People falling down from the roof when installing panels has a better kill ratio than nuclear. Next up, how much radioactivity gets released when they pulverise granite to dig out rare earth minerals you need to use wind power! Everything is hosed!

Why is nobody coming up with numbers for the bananas worth of radiation released? These are very important facts that people critical of nuclear power should know. How else are we going to understand the impact this tragedy had on the environment if we don't know how many bananas worth of radiation there are? We have to know how many bananas they are hiding so we van warn the world of the dangers of banana radioactivity.

A Brazilian guy drove a bus into a windmill and a bunch of people died, making wind power more dangerous than nuclear. It's only a matter of time before the same thing happens to a solar panel installation.
