Just a reminder that during the plagues, Christian people came up with vampires to demonize Jewish people, because Jews were ritualistically more hygienic and were dying less, so of course, they had to be eating valuable goyish children.
@eargo@Forbes Opticon is the oldest hearing aid company in the world and two years ago created the best hearing aids ever. I wear two of them. They provide sound from 360 degrees, not just in front of your face.
@JvDorp @poloniumman @markcojuangco@maccalled @kscottgoldingay @billrodgers@Pvelkovsky@luisbaram@ShellenbergerMD @BNW_Ben You need to provide evidence that the risk of renewable power poses "far greater risks" than that in a nuclear accident. So far as I know, you never trained in nuclear engineering. You don't know what you are talking about.
@JvDorp @poloniumman @markcojuangco@maccalled @kscottgoldingay @billrodgers@Pvelkovsky@luisbaram@ShellenbergerMD @BNW_Ben The numbers about nuclear deaths are always manipulated by pro-nukes. WHO said Chernobyl killed 16,000, but IAEA counted only 4,000 of them. The TORCH Report, estimating 160,000 deaths, is much more believable. So deaths were 40 times what IAEA claimed.
@JvDorp @poloniumman @markcojuangco@maccalled @kscottgoldingay @billrodgers@Pvelkovsky@luisbaram@ShellenbergerMD @BNW_Ben There is no evidence that nuclear is the safest option. Coal is dead, and should never be used. Energy efficiency, not manufacturing so much electricity, is the safest and cheapest option.
@billrodgers @JvDorp @poloniumman @markcojuangco@maccalled @kscottgoldingay @Pvelkovsky@luisbaram@ShellenbergerMD @BNW_Ben Those data may or may not all be true. Everything that WHO publishes about nuclear power and radiation must be agreed to by IAEA, so it's often wrong. The claim that only 4,000 died at Chernobyl requires taking half the results from a WHO paper and ignoring the other half.
@JvDorp @poloniumman @markcojuangco@maccalled @kscottgoldingay @billrodgers@Pvelkovsky@luisbaram@ShellenbergerMD @BNW_Ben Ur claim leaves out death rates for solar, wind, and hydro energy. Solar and wind are the two fastest-growing sources of energy in the world. So we have here the old nuclear-lovers' hoax, that nuclear is best because it kills less than fossil fuels. Who cares? That's irrelevant!
@billrodgers @JvDorp @poloniumman @markcojuangco@maccalled @kscottgoldingay @Pvelkovsky@luisbaram@ShellenbergerMD @BNW_Ben I have read considerable evidence over the last 50 years. There can be none which truly proves that nuclear power is the safest form of energy.
However, if you will send me a URL citation, I will read it.
@markcojuangco@billrodgers @kscottgoldingay @Pvelkovsky@luisbaram@ShellenbergerMD @BNW_Ben @JvDorp Fortune Magazine called steam generator failures the largest consumer-product failure in US history. That's not improvement, it's a record-breaking screw-up.
@markcojuangco@billrodgers @kscottgoldingay @Pvelkovsky@luisbaram@ShellenbergerMD @BNW_Ben @JvDorp Business Week called nuclear steam generator failures the largest consumer product defect in American history. It cost $billions and ratepayers paid for nuclear's stupidity. It happened because industry built larger and larger plants with no prototypes.
@markcojuangco @kscottgoldingay @billrodgers@Pvelkovsky@luisbaram@ShellenbergerMD @BNW_Ben @JvDorp The steam generator vendor claimed it was providing the same SG as was already there. So no NRC approval was needed. But that was a liel It was an entirely different, and stupid, design. It didn't work. It was incompetent.
