Russia has reportedly made a sinister threat to the West by suggesting it could attack nuclear power plants in retaliation for any strike on its own sites

Okay, I’ll admit I was being a facetious when I said nuclear explosion.
That being said, it’s still a non-renewable energy source that produces incredibly toxic waste that lasts tens of thousands of years that nobody wants to keep or store nor has any way of effectively making safe except storing it in bunkers underground for tens of thousands of years, which is stupid, impractical, short-sighted at best and incredibly dangerous at worst.
Also, Absolutely nobody wants to live near a nuclear power plant. Why bother having them take up room if you can’t live or farm near them.
Why leave the means of production in the hands of capitalist scum that will ask for billions to keep the plants maintained on top of the energy tarrifs we pay, only keep the money, and still let the facilities crumble, when I can just install solar panels in my own house and not pay for any electricity? Sounds kinda dumb to go for nuclear at that point.
I can’t confirm if it’s the most energy dense, but even if that’s true, it can still trigger meltdowns that leave kilometer-wide radii of uninhabitable radioactivity dead-zones like around Chernobyl.
As far as I’m concerned, anybody still promoting this technology is so deeply entrenched in their own self- aggrandizement because nuclear energy sounds cool that they can’t grow up and realise other technologies outcompeted nuclear on a number of metrics, decades ago.
Also, I know that this will continue to get downvoted because there are so so so many people who have made nuclear energy part of their personality and absolutely cannot critically self-reflect on the topic.
Nuclear fusion or no nuclear at all.
You don’t have to act like you didn’t mean what you said. It’s okay to admit you were wrong.
It’s so telling that this is the only part you responded to.
Can’t fault any of my other claims for the failure of nuclear, so you have to resort ad hominems - you nukecels are laughable.
Do you know what an ad hominem actually is? Telling someone that it’s okay to admit you are wrong is not an attack on you as a person.
It is when you’re on your high horse telling me that I’m allowed to admit that I’m wrong when I wasn’t wrong and being facetious.
You’ve made assumptions about my intentions and intelligence and tried to negate discussion without addressing any of my claims.
It is an attack on my intelligence rather than my argument, so it’s an ad hominem.
You’re the only one here mentioning your intelligence.
Lol ok champ.
