"This is the brief, simple story of two major clean energy projects, and how one exposes the double standards suffered by the other."
@kravietz The difference is that one of them will kill the neighbors if it is just slightly mismanaged. The other one just sits there.
One would think that Chernobyl and Fukushima would be enough of an argument at this point.
Each year hundreds of people die worldwide in accidents related to solar and wind power. You don't seem to care about them, do you?
@kravietz I don't want to reiterate decades of pro/con nuclear power discussions. Show me a reactor that won't blow up and a safe & practical way to store the byproducts for 1000s of years and we can talk.
And before you complain about the tiny amount of waste that is left, let me introduce you to K+S facilities in Herfa-Neurode and Zielitz which already store extremely toxic waste for decades.

Have you heard Greenpeace freak about them?
No. Because they "only" store mercury, cyanide and arsenic waste.
Which does *not* lose toxicity over time, unlike nuclear waste.
What are you going to do about that?
