and desertification from industrial agriculture
@ᚱᛟᛟᛏ dang bro, thanks for the help!. I get what u mean and hopefully I can expand that to a paragraph or so.

Yeah and those barrels leak, ya know? There's multiple sites leaking throughout this country to this day
Common misconception. There's ground water in the desert. And people live in the desert, believe it or not.
There's many Navajo who live on land where there are abandoned uranium mines and documented proof from EPA that their water supplies have been thoroughly contaminated by it
The mines are on their reservations
yeah but the excavation is what contaminated the surrounding area, dont you know anything about how mine tailings contaminate surrounding waterways?
Just because it kills you slowly, doesnt make it safe. You're still going to end up with thyroid cancer, which most of the people who live there have
Lol nuclear is safe bro just take iodine for the rest of your life
"Brief risk"
Not if you live in the area
Animals in Chernobyl still suffer from deformities
And are found with multiple tumors growing out of them
Convenient
Fukushima isnt even remotely close enough to California to cause any damage
And is seperated by an ocean
Hydrogen bonds in water absorb energy very easily, thats why water is used to cool reactors
It doesn't diminish but if it's spread out it has less of an effect
There's still effects of radiation in the atmosphere from when the US detonated test bombs
which is why carbon dating is now inaccurate
yeah, if its by an ocean or in the atmosphere
not if its on land
and you forget it takes decades for it to decay
not if the meltdown is concentrated enough
not to mention,
nuclear decay isnt linear
you're making it seem like it only decays into one sort of element
bigger atoms that decay slowly,, decay into multiple different types of elements , and the half life of those decay products vary and can be faster or slower than the initial element it decayed from
so you're wrong about "slow decay" being safe and you're grossly misinformed on fission.
<:bebe:484171782258163713>
Slow decay is still decaying into other elements
Which have shorter half lives, which means they're decaying faster depending on what the product is, which is where the harmful radiation comes from in nuclear waste
and there will always be an increasing number of the decay products because of the way nuclear decay happens. conservation of mass, yo.
which is why i said its inherently problematic
if a meltdown happens then the environment is screwed
im not even sure how this is an argument since its already been proven
reactors dont explode tho
