Obligatory fuck stonetoss
Damn, I was unaware of the artist. Indeed, fuck Stonetoss!
It’s okay. There are a lot of comics with weird poorly drawn duck people, so it makes sense to not realize.
The more I read at the above, the worse it got. Wow.
The Rock Heave link? It’s awful. It’s better to not know about it.
That’s the one… and for me, I’d always rather know so I can avoid.
There was a time I was exposed to this often on reeedit (mainly subs decrying it) and I’m thankful I haven’t seen it much in a couple years.
Fuck stonetoß
Nuclear is easily the best path forward and even when you consider events like Chernoble, the harm on humanity is vastly dwarfed by what coal has done to us.
Johnny Harris and Big If True have a great video discussing fear and actual nuclear impacts. The only factor it lacks mentioning is how much land fossil fuels takes up. Each year, fossil fuels infrastructure distroys more land than Chernobyl and fukushima combined.
and instead of building plants with learnings from those events we continue to do nothing with nuclear, relying on ever aging tech and facilities. id love to see small nuclear reactors or some of the other designs being put into use. we also need to spread renewables around as well. if every house was its own powersource and onl relied on the grid for backup things would be cleaner.
Kurzegesagt had a good video about this too. Talks about the pros and cons of nuclear along with other alternative energy sources.
Me, i’m just wondering why no one is calling China out for its claims of creating a star fusion reactor yet we see nothing for it.Made up alliances?
Basing on the US since that is where my MS studies in environment policy were focused. Conservative republicanans poll highest in believing climate change is fake or not caused by human activity
From the same article, you can see that support for expanding nuclear energy is stronger among liberal republicans and strongest with conservative republicans.
*Pew research is not a scholarly source on its own, but scores center for media bias making it optimal for readers without academic library access
Oil and gas companies being in an ‘alliance’ with climate change activists is a pretty made up notion, even in the context of constraining the entire scope to just a stance on nuclear energy.
There may be opposition to nuclear but to make the bridge over to being an ally of oil and coal would be… well, stonetoss level of improper framing of an issue.
Hell, anecdotally speaking for my own experiences on the topic: nuclear energy has been the most consistent common ground between climate change activists and deniers that I’ve seen. Far more than the precise zero climate change activists ive seen actively supporting oil, gas, or coal interests. There is support renewables, not obliquely opposing nuclear.
