@Lagomaster24 I can agree with people gardening if that's what you're saying. But I wouldn't say it's something we should be trying to shame people into doing or something. I don't htink it would have that much effect overall is what I'm sayinh.

deny cultural differences between regions of Europe

Oh no i wouldnt try to MAKE people do it, just encourage it

Yeah, this breaks down into "Free Europe" like the UK where you need...licenses for everything

And the "former Soviet Block" where you...nvm.

I guess you could break out the US too. Where you get places like CA where you are free to...not drink from straws.

Why are MA and CA getting rid of all their nuclear?

this is as of 2018

Anyways, the best environmental policies tend to be local. Like the commitment native people in the Great Lakes tend to protect their lakes.

yep

if the government does anything it would be setting a basic standard to go off of

imo

if people want to exceed those standards they are free too

I've been keeping an eye on this one of the reasons I'm gona stay in the navy longer, sadly with these plants shutting down its going to require fossil fuel to pick up the load cause wind and solar infrastructure isn't robust enough yet to make up for it

@pratel Since I'm a Massachusetts citizen, what I can tell you is the nuclear plant that just announced that it will go out of commission is like one of the biggest on the east coast and is a prime target for terrorist attacks. Also because I live fairly close to that one, if it goes off, I'm fucked.

I see.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilgrim_Nuclear_Power_Station

honestly terrorist groups, out side of the eco one like green peace, aint going to target them cause they people dont care about the plant there more likely to go for more public items major resorts or military strategic targets like the pentagon

if they are smart enough to take down a plant

they are smart enough to know how bad of an idea it is

that and it would take a lot of effort to due so cause the core its self it very isolated and can easily be contained within the facility its self it something did go wrong, barring two near simultaneous acts of god along with bad emergeny power plan

that and the place is highly secure

and a hotspot

the electronics of the reactor control equipment isn't even connected to the internet it on its own internal network that will never contact the out side world

```In April 2013, the station increased its security following the Boston Marathon bombing.```

one example that security is quite tight there

and heres the biggest one

if you have the intelligence capable of formulating a plan to completely disable a facility with that amount of security

```The Nuclear Regulatory Commission defines two emergency planning zones around nuclear power plants: a plume exposure pathway zone with a radius of 10 miles (16 km), concerned primarily with exposure to, and inhalation of, airborne radioactive contamination, and an ingestion pathway zone of about 50 miles (80 km), concerned primarily with ingestion of food and liquid contaminated by radioactivity```

You have the intelligence capable of telling you why iys a bad idea

i dont live within 10 miles but i do live within 50 miles of said plant

so you know what that means

i would have to be evacuated

if the worst happens that is

yup if it ever does just pray the wind its going out to sea

im not going to say how close tho

it sits right on the beach

so if it lets go, the entire ocean there would be contaminated

if it manage to get out there would be some contamination but not as bad as people would think

oh it has

everyone knows about it
