Publically

maybe they just completed the cover up

unlike the soviets

also my parents are incredibly eco

they hate nuclear

asked them how they would fix the problem

they say wind and solar on every roof

Get better parents

like we would have to build new coal plants and shit to even produce all that stuff

germany is building new coal plants btw

glad we moved away from nuclear derp

most westerners live in places where there's not a lot of solar energy per square meter

also literally running out of space for wind power

they are considering chopping down forrests for wind farms

sure if you live in southern california or arizona or something solar makes a certain amount of sense as a supplementary source of power

but in new england? good luck making it break even.

green energy is not effecient enough to be a main power

nuclear or even fusion in the future would be ideal

nowadays there wont even be any radioactive junk left

but they call me science deniers when they themselves dont believe in reactor advancements since 1950 lmao

Solar and wind are good options in combination with hydroelectric. You let the sun fill in when water levels are low. If your solar output exceeds consumption, you can use the excess to pump water back up the dam.

This is actually something the Swiss do

in most countries you cant use hydroelectric

They buy up French electricity to fill their dams when the French nucler plants exceed consumption.

you dont have a general avialability of it like sun and wind

also considering that mountenous countries with the ability have much less people and demand for electricity

Speaking of nuclear

did any of you watch that HBO show about Chernobyl?

like

a country like germany

we are half as big as Texas

with over 80 million people

we dont have enough space for wind or solar energy to be effective or enough

also why are climate activists never the ones planting trees

why is it always conservatives and random people in africa

No time to do stuff when you're out protesting.

they also dont have solutions

just demands for the government "to do something"

they are also completely insane

some of them want that we completely stop using oil in the next 10 years

well you cant make solar panels withotu a shitload of it
