Gotta be honest only a few years ago I would have been very against Nuclear power. There was a lot of consternation over the years here about Sellafield and how a good chunk of Ireland would be in the fallout zone of a disaster happened. But that all seems very unlikely really and I’m definitely convinced there is a case for some of our energy needs being fulfilled by Nuclear.
Not that Ireland is ever going to build one mind.
Nuclear waste is stored deep down under ground. We have quite a few of those facilities in Sweden. Why not build the plant down there in the first place? Yet costly it must be way safer.
Finland has a few of those facilities as well right?
Go to Svalbard, build a fuck off massive nuclear power station and power Northern Europe that way. And get the EU to pay for it. 
We’ve already taken enough of the polar bears territory, don’t think Norway would let us take more 
Lower down the list than other things mentioned I reckon, I’d probably say you’re overestimating the influence of rabid environmental leftists if you think its the reason
The left are too stupid to be the main reason for anything important these days.
I’m not talking about unwashed hippsters, Green parties on the continent actively stifle progress on wider adoption of nuclear energy purely on ideological grounds.
They definitely have a part to play, but I feel the mainstream green party positions are shifting to reality.
There ended up being a frustrating common ground between fossil fuel lobbyists and greens on nuclear power which killed its potential.
In Asia they don’t have such objections I don’t think.
The main drawback of nuclear power is a potential meltdown, and the disposal of nuclear waste. 
An interesting idea… 
I think I’d prefer it on the surface, because what causes a spread is the explosion from the insanely rapid pressure build up, this comes from a failure to cool a started chain reaction and the radiated heating of the gas around.
I think in theory a failure to cool it if it was placed on the ground on a field would dimply result in some radioactive shit lying in a tank buzzing and you just… pour asfalt over it or w/e and that’s it. nothing is exploding or going anywhere. If you close it in a building it could explode into the air for the same reason a gas explosion could happen in a house.
these plants are houses full of technology and safety stuff so you need to build them in a secure environment. The safety solutions then comes in the form of backup cooling systems, pressure dump valves and backup power sources for the cooling that is off the grid, like diesel engines in a tunnel a bit away from the plant etc. failing to control the chain reaction and having proper backup systems/pressure control is what caused chernobyl and fukushima.
if you bury it underground and fuck up, the energy from the explosion from the gas trying to expand in a confined space will go somewhere. maybe it’s very hard to predict and control if it blows out a cavity the size of a stadium and radioactive stuff infests everything around it in the ground. maybe the pressure would just make the explosion worse as well on top of the unpredictability.
No they were exaggerated by green lobbyist.
I said I wouldnt discount the possibility in response to Electrifying stating it as fact, but you cut out the part of the post that made that clear, your selective quoting makes it look like I was the one making the assertion. If you want to contradict someone and argue the point, go with Electrifying, he’s the one that made the assertion, I said that I didnt know enough about the topic but that what he said could be true, but you cut that bit out.
I don’t need to address any other part of it, all that was needed for me get straight the point.
By all means it was not a swipe at you or anything, so if you took it that way not my intentions at all. But take it as you will doesn’t matter to me.
I assume those rumours of Zelensky not being in Kyiv aren’t too popular anymore.
I’m one of those who believe he’s left Ukraine. He may have returned but I don’t believe he’s been in Kiev or Ukraine all this time.
Why?
I started thinking it early on when they were making a thing about how brave he was for staying in Kiev, it felt like propaganda to me. The green screen stuff followed which was unnecessary and only fueled my beliefs.
It could be total rubbish, but I’m still confident that one day it’ll be revealed he was conducting parts of this war - especially earlier on - from Poland.
I’m almost certain of it.
Not strange he might be walking around Kiev now when the Russians retreated to focus their war efforts on the Donbass and the south.
The green screen really damaged the credibility of being in Kiev all the time. Including the alleged meeting with Polish and Czech prime ministers who traveled by train to Kiev whilst the city was surrounded and under siege.
EU’s Ursula with Ukrainian soldiers in Bucha. Notice them all wearing blue armbands. I stressed this many times before. Why the dead were wearing white armbands or no armbands, white armbands indicating civilians sympathetic to Russians or Russian soldiers.
In the age of smartphones and wireless internet. Why aren’t we flooded with an absolute stream of evidence of dead bodies. Confirming the “genocide”. Mostly what we have seen are 20 bodies or so and some holes with black trashbin bags. It could contain anything. When news outlets want to attribute massacres to Russians or to anyone for that matter, I expect extreme due diligence and to my mind there has been done very little due diligence, because an agenda needs to be fulfilled and peddled.
Reuters was not able to independently verify who was responsible for killing the dead residents.
