Considering 99% of people go by what they see on shows like The Simpsons, movies, and games, with things like glowing oozing barrels… It’s a really good bet the average viewer is wrong. Of course an extremely small minority will have more education about it, but given the responses here and in other threads across social media, that’s almost never the case.
I also find it strange that the person always compares nuclear with coal, as if it was a “x or y” thing… Were renewables not yet invented when he recorded the video? Am I missing something?
There are more disadvantages like the fact the fuel rods in Europe usually come from Russia, which is technically sanctioned for transforming Ukraine (ironically, that also includes the area of Zaporizhzhia around their nuclear power plant 🙃) into a war zone. But anyway…
IMO, we should build renewables that are cheaper and invest in battery storage. I wish, my country would have done that instead of China, because both technologies currently generate lots of money for them.
IMO, the main argument of the person in the video does not make sense. He tells that “It’s solved, but people don’t accept it”.
Really? There are 195 countries on this planet and you want to tell me that none of them was like “Oh, I could bury other people’s waste and let them pay me. Easy…”.
We have globalization, we have lots of capitalism, there are even dictatorships that don’t care what the population thinks. Why is there no country on earth that has offered to take the nuclear waste of mine for money and deal with it?
