NUCLEAR POWER.
IT DOESN'T CARE IF THE SUN'S SHINING OR THE WIND'S BLOWING.
IT DOESN'T NEED BATTERIES FULL OF COBALT OR LITHIUM DUG UP BY CONGOLESE CHILD SLAVES IN CHINESE-OWNED MINES.
AND IT HAS LOWER LIFETIME GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS THAN SOLAR, AND ABOUT THE SAME AS WIND.
IT'S NOT EVIL DEVIL MAGIC. IT'S METAL THAT GETS HOT AND BOILS WATER TO MAKE STEAM THAT TURNS TURBINES.
THERE'S NO SMOKE. THE SHIT THAT COMES OUT OF THE COOLING TOWER IS JUST STEAM.
NUCLEAR PRODUCES AT LEAST A HUNDRED TIMES LESS RADIOACTIVE POLLUTION THAN COAL WHICH CONTAINS TRACE RADIOACTIVE ELEMENTS WHICH GO INTO THE AIR WHEN BURNED.
NUCLEAR POWER DOESN'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE ALL NUCLEAR WASTE IS CONTAINED, AND NO NUCLEAR WASTE CASKET HAS EVER LEAKED IN THE HISTORY OF AMERICAN NUCLEAR POWER.
NUCLEAR POWER IS SAFE.
IT'S EFFECTIVE.
IT DOES LESS DAMAGE TO THE ENVIRONMENT THAN COAL, OR EVEN WIND AND SOLAR WHICH REQUIRE A FUCK TON OF LAND AND TOXIC METALS FOR WHICH WE HAVE NO PLAN TO DEAL WITH.
NUCLEAR POWER IS THE CLOSEST THING TO A PERFECT ENERGY SOURCE THE HUMAN SPECIES HAS EVER DISCOVERED.
WE'VE HAD THE TECHNOLOGY SINCE THE 1950S. IF WE EMBRACED IT FROM THE START, WE WOULDN'T HAVE CLIMATE CHANGE TODAY. WE COULD HAVE HAD ALL OF THE AIR CONDITIONING WE EVER WANTED, ALONG WITH EVERY OTHER MODERN CONVENIENCE WE'RE CONSTANTLY SHAMED FOR TODAY.
BUT WE SAID NO.
WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE DOING AS A SPECIES?
ARE WE FUCKING RETARDED?
@alexboge Only like 2% of people argue in good faith, and even then they can't stop to think that the point of the tweet was that its just a stupid fucking idea ecomonically ("moving the goalposts" ugh lmao) and their favorite human elon musk just does what he did *time and time again*
@alexboge Blue checkmarks are incentivised to post rage baiting messages and are much more visible, so I see a sea of people saying "haha dumb stupid washed up bald guy *insert a slur here* doesn't know sun radiates heat" etc.
@account38492 @alexboge It is comparatively much much much more effective to cool something in the atmosphere, having convection, than purely via radiation. It is just the truth and what I meant there, brother.
"Ineffective" does not mean impossible, just "worse than doing anything else"
@HVM_fi@alexboge btw it's crazy I'm learning finnish ๐
Anyway, not a lot of people even critique the "will die in minites part" (yeah nobody is *actually* sending something that'll "die in minutes" to space) which at least makes *some sense* even though it's clearly a hyperbole
@HVM_fi@alexboge Where did I lie brother, I said nothing about that last sentence you're referring to ("It'll die in minutes"). Learn to read please ๐
I am simply weirded out by multitudes of people seemingly thinking he said "heat transfer impossible in space" which he *clearly didn't*
@ZacksJerryRig All those thousands of axtually super smart engineers *have to* come up with solutions to the stupid overall idea that elon makes them work on, because he's their boss and tells them what to do, duh??
@ZacksJerryRig It is *not impossible*, the whole critique of our lord and saviour smartest person on planet earth elon musk was that it's ineffective and seems like marketing/pursuing flashy goal that is actually kinda stupid.
@Ukronazie@LuiisOliveira05@saintjavelin it does take a certain kind of being completely fucking scizo off the meds to think that when russia bombs us and almost the entirety of the war that's ever happened was on ua territory its because we're forced to fight it
not a single russian city got destroyed to rubble..
@LuiisOliveira05@Ukronazie@saintjavelin idk what debt are you talking about, I just kinda get bombed every evening, and I kinda doubt the CIA or mossad or whatever send agents into russia to launch the missiles and drones
"proxy war", yeah, they twisted russias hand SOOO MUCH
also yeah congrats you got me to reply :(
@LuiisOliveira05@Ukronazie@saintjavelin I do sincerely hope you're feeding someone with those pennies they pay you in your afwul dogshit country for being a brainless negative engagement bot lmao
@pilcrowonpaper@sergiodxa That's just a mac moment, every time I am forced to subject myself to it, I need to install half a dozen 3rd party apps that fix inadequacies like this one, in that case it's RedQuits
Still better than windows though
