    Nuclear waste storage is not an issue. High level waste is safety contained today in facilities and construction of waste facilities is solely a matter of political will. We have the technology and waste storage of high level material is not a critical issue. Furthermore, the decision to solely focus on nuclear waste from reactors is deeply unserious. Coal ash is more radioactive than nuclear waste and the medical industry generates far more nuclear waste than power does. This stampede against helpful technically accomplishes no good whatsoever. Anti nuclear activists in Germany successfully fought for the climate by shutting down nuclear plants and letting the government further cement it's reliance on coal. Rallying against useful, viable, albeit imperfect technology (as all technologies are) is phenomenaly counterproductive and unserious.

      Yeah calling me unserious and then jumping over to arguments against coal power as an argument isn't going to fly. Do better. Especially when you then claim nuclear storage is not an issue. Nuclear is only useful insofar as it is a temporary stopgap and a replacement for building fossil fuel plants, but the time to build up nuclear capacity was 40 years ago. It is not now, when we should be focusing on renewable sources of energy, clamoring against that by saying yeah well it's gonna take steel to do that is fucking baby brained, and calling anyone unserious after that was your first fucking argument isn't even ironic, it's just fucking stupid.

        Are you illiterate? The argument against coal was saying that all fighting against nuclear does is hinder it's progress and therefore help coal. Also, nuclear is more than just a stopgap as I said earlier. Nuclear power can provide power for extended durations, especially with breeder reactors and ocean mining for uranium. Your inability to look at usecases, nuance or anything other than repeating turbolib propaganda that causes real, material harm is incredibly frustrating and honestly concerning that you can't see how your position is being used directly against your interests. We need to pull all the stops to fight climate change and that means all the stops. Rallying against nuclear does absolutely nothing and only prevents more low carbon power from being constructed. Stop aligning yourself with absolutist, unproductive turbolibs and realize that two things can be done at once.

          You don't get to make more argument redditbrained dumbass. You argued that renewable using steel was an argument against them. You just don't have a leg to fucking stand on. You don't rise to the level of unserious. In fact. You're not getting more from me. I'm just going to call you a dumb fuck until I get an apology for your dumb ass behavior and bad arguments.

            I'm not apologizing for calling you out on being a total idiot and being unable to read or carrying more about fighting spoopy nuclear power than fighting climate change. You absolute fucking moron.

              No I'm not asking you to apologize for shit that never happened. I'm asking you to apologize for being a fucking dipshit without any brain activity who still insists on being annoying as fuck. Like the fucking audacity of calling other people dumb after advocating the "Oh yeah but you have to use steel for renewable energy" argument alone. Genuinely stop posting, don't inflict your stupid on the world.

                You are literally the one who is using retoric used to prevent climate action. Nuclear isn't a silver bullet but it is useful but you are more focused on swearing like a toddler that just learned how to say fuck than you are thinking about the climate crisis.

                  Trying to tone police at this stage is almost as audacious as calling someone else stupid after the arguments you have presented so far. "Oh no the person I have been insulting for an hour said the word fuck, they sure are immature and stupid". I'm going to block you now, because your posts have been so dumb that I suspect you are not actually capable of adding anything to any conversation of any kind in any context.

                    Sure, I don't love talking to self proclaimed leftists with the philosophy of German or Canadian greens
