Oh, such techno-utopianism, cheer the tech!!
Sweden still has increased death rates due to Chernobyl, this disaster is still killing by a statistical significance, if we make it to the future we could forget it and later remind ourselves by looking in the atmosphere, in the mud, in the food, in the oceans, in the animals, in the ice and we can find traces of the man made disaster in DNA, in the fingerprint of God, we are the Gods now... If you haven't figured it out yet, if you still believe in the government's figures, I've got one thing to tell you: pull your head out of your ass.
For one example, the leaders of the free world are now leaving the so called Paris Agreement, because they believe anthropogenic climate change is a hoax.
Are they still telling you the truth? Okay, back to nuclear now for a second round. We are likely to see a worldwide collapse due to many reasons, but lets blame a lot of it to the actions of the government's mentioned. Before you dismiss this premise I would like to inform that this is a major fear, and therefor a major field of research for the nuclear industry and is a major reason to why we even care about long term storage of the waste – if everything "went well", why would we care about a thousand years? if we can manage "it" now we for sure can in the future when our GDP is like risen by a gazillion percents.
We must pause here, this is the thing: we are talking about waste that is extremely insanely dangerous if it would "leak" out, if this would happen our civilization would be finished, life could die out (not like we are not killing of 100-200 species a day already, but hey, gotta go faster!) Where were we now, right: can you imagine this planet in five hundred years? and the nuclear waste has to be securely stored for hundreds of thousands of years. This is the reason they try to universal signs instead of writing the warning in plain language [1]. I am way off the article now, so Sweden and France has a decarbonized their economies? Where a the figures? I would guess without looking into any numbers, that both Sweden and France has in fact increased their carbon output since they started using nuclear power, I would go so far that I would argue that they have in fact increased their carbon output because they have added nuclear. By using nuclear power we grow our economy, the larger the economy the more carbon output. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-time_nuclear_waste_warnin... |
