This is an often misquoted fact. The study that compared coal and nuclear was only studying air pollutants, and obviously the steam stacks from nuclear reactors don’t have as much radionuclide pollutants as coal. However, the study did not look at other sources like wastewater - which is where most radionuclide pollution from nuclear reactors comes from (along with other sources like spent fuel, casings, and moderator rods).

Well I would argue beta decay is an aging-like property inherent in atoms. Granted, the half-lives are pretty long, but a limit still technically exists in that respect.

Hey this happened in Spec Ops the Line

No worries. Wasn’t trying to lecture you, just thought your comment was a good segue. I appreciated your fact as well.

Too bad using religious text to settle geopolitical issues is never a good idea. The fact of the matter is that the state exists. Erasure of a state shouldn’t be on the table and that goes for any country out there no matter how heinous or insignificant. Both Israel and Palestine need to come to an agreement wherein both parties can coexist in the present, otherwise their leadership is failing. I like that speech the Kenyan Ambassador Martin Kimani made to the UN back in 2022 when Russia attacked Ukraine. Sometimes it’s best to let go of historical gripes and to look at how you can work together with the “now”, otherwise you will end up fighting for all eternity.

Out of touch execs still chasing metrics instead of focusing on quality. Their desperation betrays the awareness that an end is near.
