Nuclear plants are great if they actually happen to get built and every person designing and operating them and storing the waste never makes a single mistake

> every person designing and operating them and storing the waste never makes a single mistake

Even within Chernobyl Disaster, it was a series of mistakes which led to the full scale disaster IIRC so it isn't as if a single mistake

Also Thorium based Nuclear Reactors wouldn't have this issue from what I understand as in the idea of explosions or anything,

> Nuclear plants are great if they actually happen to get built

I get this part but shouldn't this mean that people should be more vocal about support for Nuclear. We are vocal about support for Solar, might as well be vocal about support for Nuclear and Solar both too?


Because nuclear is too good to be true, which makes it the preferred ragebait for many, it seems

They should get basic income too, good idea


You’re welcome to enjoy the slop, doesn’t change what it is


Not sure how to deal with this kind of wildly unbalanced risk assessment

Why does this make you think of park tools?


Do you know that the government has set those targets?


And the dutch aren’t very well known for their imperial mentality?


The Dutch were ridiculously bad at imposing their language on other countries. Little trace of it remains in Indonesia, or New York. Aruba, Curaçao and Sint Maarten have never taken to it. South Africa is kind of the exception except even then Afrikaans has played second fiddle to English for 150 years, and they have sought to differentiate their language from Dutch in more recent times.

Portugal has been better at that game when you consider its size.


What do you find strange about it?


I believe general wisdom in the US is that trains are best when run by the government at zero cost. This is presumably the best way to get transit. So the idea that competition would improve things is odd.
