Breeder reactors reuse the waste as fuel until there’s a significantly smaller amount of actual waste.

I imagine if we actually committed to funding nuclear tech, we’d get even better at disposing of it.

Shit, why not send it into space with Elon’s rockets? Only half joking.

Who says it needs to be controlled by a few big players?

I mean, obviously we never would, but there could absolutely be a right way to do this. Nationalization could be a solution. Or something like co-determination.

Seems like that’s how every large scale “discussion” on the internet goes, all nuance goes out the window. I guess the platforms don’t allow for nuanced takes? Other than maybe longform podcasts, but those aren’t exactly large scale discussions like reddit or twitter. Maybe some clever sociologist can figure out why we are like this (or likely already has).

Read the original post:

The justices in a 5-4 vote rejected arguments by the Biden administration and Democratic-controlled states that the plan was cutting air pollution.

The court—that is 9 old people who have studied nothing but jurisprudence for the last 3 or 4+ decades —have decided that they are better qualified than the Environmental Protection Agency and the hundreds of thousands of scientists, engineers, and experts that make it up, to judge whether or not an EPA plan to curb pollution actually curbs pollution.

This (and the other decision that just came down about the SEC) seems to indicate to me exactly how they plan to rule in the Chevron Deference case, and it does not look good.

My only (admittedly convoluted) hope is that they decided to choose a couple of the regulatory issues on this session’s docket as a handout to the Captain Planet villains that make up the GOP, so they don’t lose their shit when they uphold Chevron.

I’m not holding my breath.

The fact that this country isn’t on fucking fire about Project 2025 is a very bad sign.

It’s because they are all fascists. “Conservative” in America is just a synonym. Fascism has always historically been a boon to corporations due to their integration into the corrupt machine.

Corporations could not care less if someone is “conservative,” what they care about is money, power, and control. And fascism seems to be a good way to get that done, while also having the added benefit (in their minds) of causing millions of humans to suffer.

Win/win.

Yeah dude I’m sure these old motherfuckers who dedicated their lives to ONE SINGLE ACADEMIC PURSUIT that is completely unrelated to science in just about every way, knows better than the EPA as to whether or not this plan is cutting air pollution.

Once again, we’ve encountered one of the many fatal flaws of our system: requiring every citizen and lawmaker to be an PhD level expert on literally every subject or else things break and people die. We’re all the ones who have to abide by their dumbass decisions when it literally kills our children. Very cool.

Typical American smh

Driving it will protect you from scurvy

“rocket barrages” lol that’s rich.

Then Israel responds by murdering 100x civilians including women and children.

Complete disproportionate response after Iron Dome basically prevents any Israelis from dying from those so-called “rocket barrages.”

Each time it’s one or two Israeli soldiers killed by the one rocket out of 40 that made it in, and by a week later 1,200 Palestinian civilians are murdered. Cool.

Over and over for 5+ decades. It’s just objective fact, the numbers are publicly available. I don’t forget, so the people in Gaza and the West Bank sure as shit don’t (between fighting off “settlers” with AR-15s from New Jersey storming their villages in the middle of the night). Israel created every Palestinian terrorist after decades of oppression, displacement, apartheid, and dire hopelessness. Almost like it’s what they wanted.

And now literal genocide. Their end goal. A final solution if you will.

Everything, literally everything they do, is projection.
