So right side up means its on it’s side?
Just go eat plant-based all together, so we won’t have these problems that endanger the existence of life on our planet. Including humans.
Let’s just stop trying out new referenda, OK?
Well, your view is not unbiased, perhaps it’s difficult to do here, given the limited amount of writing room. And in a discussion it seems to be obligatory to only mention the parts that are favourable to one’s personal outcome, somehow. But still. Even though you seem very convinced on the pros of nuclear, others still beg to differ. Like this research shows. Money remains an important driver of the whole issue, and money being spent on nuclear cannot be spent again on wind turbines or batteries. Unbiased information is difficult to get online however, most websites on the matter have preconceived ideas that they present. Nuclear waste also concerns medium and low level waste, which are a lesser problem, but still a problem in larger quantities. And high nuclear waste remain radioactive longer than homo sapiens has been around, so although the quantity is not a lot, its longevity makes up for it, so it remains quite a problem for which no final solution has been found. As I wrote earlier: the debate is not over just yet, otherwise it would not be newsworthy every time again. Strong opinions on both sides do not make up for it, usually a strong opinion is not backed up by knowledge and facts alone, but also on feelings and emotions, otherwise it would not be a strong opinion. Which makes the discussion more difficult.
The arguments of Greenpeace against nuclear power have nothing to do with age though. It’s too expensive, which takes money away from e.g. wind and solar, with less carbon-free energy in the end for the money spent and more fossil fuels being used as a consequence. And still produces nuclear waste. Just develop batteries, hydrogen and the likes for storage. And ban or tax the use of fossil fuels. This debate is not over yet, not by a long shot, and climate will remain in the news as long as we live, I’m afraid.
There was this case of Lucia de Berk who was locked up innocently.

I’m not saying that it’s the same scenario here, but I would remain careful in passing judgement.
There was this case of Lucia de Berk who was convicted on statistics like these, although she was innocent.

Perhaps your chances with Michelle are better than you thought!
As she did not confess in court, I’m keeping the option open that she could be innocent. We’ve had those cases before.
The solutions are there, but nobody will risk loss of power or popularity. But no worries, nature will strike back harder and harder.
