Nor will a full-size nuke plant like the one Gov Hochul has instructed the NY Power Authority to build!
Nuclear plants are the MOST expensive way to produce electricity - and their 10-15 year implementation time means 8+ additional years of greenhouse gas for the nuclear option compared to solar!

The main purpose for ‘carbon capture’ - beyond obtaining subsidies - is to enable the continuation of fossil fuel production while pretending to address climate change.
Oh - and did they mention that much of that captured carbon is used to produce MORE fossil fuels?

If only post-menopausal women were valued in society . . .
Oh well, infants, children and women don’t count for radiation exposure limits either - just young healthy ‘reference man’ clones.
And Trump wants to make that even worse:

Trump's new radiation exposure limits could be 'catastrophic' for women and girls
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission may soon loosen radiation exposure safety standards at nuclear plants and operations. Experts warn the general public is unsafe.

I’ve been busy with folks working to oppose the reopening of zombie nukes (including a threat at Indian Point!) so haven’t had much time for posting
Great to see all the info sources you’ve identified - will be sharing the ones I missed with our community!
And a happy Thanksgiving to you as well 🌟

We do need to take individual actions to address climate change - but the emphasis on governmental & institutional actions/solutions is understandable.
Before seatbelt laws, individuals didn’t have that option for improving their own safety.
Where gas hookups are mandatory, like in NY, the same.

When one or two companies own a huge percentage of crucial infrastructure - like communications satellites or media outlets - they gain extortionate influence and near veto power over attempts to rein them in.
Hopefully social/alternate media can act as a counterbalance. Unsubscribe.

The demise of antitrust law (killed by Robert Bork) has led to many of the problems that now seem unsolvable.
‘Too Big to Fail’ was already recognized during the 2008 financial crisis - but wasn’t addressed as a root cause.
Lina Kahn at the FTC was on track to bring it back - but Trump happened.

The company that’s working on reviving the zombie Three Mile Island plant is well aware of how alarming that is. And of course they don’t want public attention to the project.

At both Palisades & Indian Point, the prior owners closed the plants because they were unprofitable & also needed expensive repairs
Years of shutdown left Palisades in even worse condition - with only the prospect of subsidies as an incentive for reopening & the potential for catastrophic meltdown!

P.S. It’s also referred to as a ‘Protection Racket’ - which saves folks the trouble of creating a problem - and is becoming increasingly popular across all areas of our current life: “nice windows there - it would be a shame if anything happened to them”

Some messages promoting technical solutions do point out that the problem is implementation - not the search for ‘correctives’ like carbon capture, etc
Jacobson’s ‘No Miracles Needed’ provides existing tech paths to ‘just saying no’ to fossil fuels.
Olympic scale effort needed for action on them!

Hard to believe that people are still claiming that gas (methane) is a ‘bridge fuel’ despite the fact that it’s ~80 times worse as a greenhouse gas over a 20 year period.
How long do they think we have to avoid catastrophic effects and irreversible tipping points?

What total percentage of ‘us’ watches them?
More than the number that still approve of Trump?
I would guess that a higher percentage avoids them completely - but unlike political polls, no one asks us if we ‘strongly disagree’
Both demographics are worrying however and could certainly be related

Or for a fancier trip they could visit the closed San Onofre nuclear plant in California where similar coastal storage of the highly radioactive fuel waste is located.
Long after the plant stopped making money, the problem is still not resolved.

How about: A way to safely store the highly radioactive waste for the hundreds of thousands of years that it will remain deadly?!
