  • Someone didn’t actually read the article, dang op. You can do better.

    It’s not that the power plant depended on the weather, but rather that the river life depended on not being boiled alive. Just like a coal or gas power plant, water is needed for cooling, which means the waste heats ends up in a nearby river.

    But unlike coal or gas, nuclear doesn’t also produce a tonne of carbon dioxide. And oddly enough, a coal power plant would be more radioactive than a nuclear plant.















  • Part of this is also the demand. Especially in places like the us, a lot of food is wasted, or nearly spoiled before it gets to the customer, or just straight up processed into heckin’ fuel and plastic.

    That’s not to say that it’s a bit odd that subsidies from the cold war are still in effect today, and that those subsidies are being used to lobby for more subsidies :/

    It does make my 3d printer filament cheap tho, thank you American taxpayers!
