While Canada claims to be a climate leader, the oil and gas we export to other countries have the potential to produce more emissions in a year than every sector in Canada combined, an independent analysis reveals.
It's perceived as dangerous but it's much safer than any other form of electricity production. It's just more expensive because we don't have the construction capacity to just build all the nuclear infrastructure we would need without a serious premium. But once they're running, nuclear shakes out to be cheaper than undoing the climate damage we caused by saving money with fossil fuels
Waste of nuclear power plants is the most well-regulated specifically because of the anxiety surrounding it. The environmental waste of fossil fuel burning is MORE radioactive than the environmental waste of nuclear power plants. The most potent waste of nuclear plants is contained in a small enough volume to place in concrete casks, submerged in large pools of water (which blocks enough of the radiation to make it lower than background levels), and stored on-site under constant monitoring.
If you're worried about waste, you should be championing nuclear power, not shunning it.
If you're worried about long-term storage, we have MUCH more time to find a solution for dealing with the contained waste from nuclear power than we do to avert the environmental catastrophe that's resulting from us continuing to spew carbon dioxide into our atmosphere.
And if you're wondering what the biggest danger actually is, it's the construction of the plants. Which is a uniform risk across all types of power plants, not uniquely high for nuclear.
Agreed. Free licenses should NEVER be applied to Apple-specific tools. They don't want to help the FOSS community, so we shouldn't help them back. Make them pay for it, or make them make their own version.
And yet, we have not, for these inventions are the Adaptations developed by other humans for the purpose of the propagation of genetics similar to their own
All of this is true, and I agree with it, but until we start employing genetic modifications to our own population, this is all still just natural selection in the same way that celibate worker drone bees building nests for their hive is natural selection.
The theory is simple: instead of buying a household item or a piece of clothing or some equipment you might use once or twice, you take it out and return it.
I see no downside to living forever because if the heat death of the universe is truly the eternity I'm doomed to, then I'll eventually become so deprived of sensory input that there would be no difference between life and death.
Gay women are called lesbians because the woman credited with being the first historically confirmed homosexual woman, the Greek poet Sappho, was from Lesbos.
Yes it is a reference, and if you don't already get it, you probably don't want to. All I will say is that the entire text of the post up to the word "Response" is from the reference, and if you're morbidly curious you can look up that much for context. Internet searcher discretion is advised.
