"The question of how the cloves were contaminated is harder to answer. The facility where they were processed is over 400 miles away from the smelter. Yet the radiation levels in the sample tested by the FDA were 10 times higher than those found in the shrimp."

“That whole island likely had a cesium-137 plume go over it, leaving a trail of contamination.”

"Officials have detected elevated radiation levels in at least 10 sites within a roughly 3-mile radius of PMT so far, including the BMS Foods facility..."

My own guess was that the containers had been used to ship something like scrap metal or medical equipment. I was very curious.

Sounds even worse than that.

2. My own quote: "In fact bananas has potassium-40, not cesium-137."

Naturally, cesium-137 is not in food. (Although it is in food bc of the atomic bombings that have happened over the years.)

Potassium-40 goes good with yogurt. Cesium-137 does not.

«House of dynamite». Go and see it! I’ve never felt as terrified after a movie before.

Note, according to Annie Jacobsen, the interceptor missile hit rate is closer to a «coin toss» than portrayed in the movie. About 55%. And there are presumably only 44 of them, not 64 as said in the movie.

Solar and battery companies should not expect to just take another area the size of Las Vegas and destroy it too.

Let's phase out fossil fuels smartly!

Susie Sunshine🙏🏼🌎 ☮️ @suzwarto.bsky.social · 23h

Look at an aerial map of Las Vegas.
Every casino, large building, parking garage, parking lot,... should be covered with solar panels.
Then, a consent-based, properly-sited battery storage facility should be built downwind, far enough away to avoid toxic air pollution if it catches on fire.

«The idea that the rich would give up their fortunes to fund mineralisation sufficient to turn the tables on the atmospheric concentration without getting anything else in return beggars belief [..] that not even Climeworks seemed to possess. Self-effacement and monetary fortune rarely go together.»

That is so offensive to environmental groups! There is no way in hell they want Trump to keep going. The fossil fuel and nuclear lobbies are to blame. They have paid a lot of money to politicians and cheer the failure of renewable energy projects.

There was opposition before Trump was elected a second time.
I wish every large building and home had solar before we even think of destroying 185 square miles of desert ecosystem and native sites.
Just because it's a desert doesn't mean it's disposable.

Must we destroy everything?
It's possible to despise Trump yet want to protect archeology sites, rare plants, bighorn sheep,...
The project was as big as Las Vegas.

"Another conservation group, Basin and Range Watch, sent a statement when the project’s status changed to canceled."

"The E7 projects would have destroyed significant archeology sites, rare plants, bighorn sheep habitat and wilderness quality lands."

I love solar, but rooftops would be better.
