Interesting, though to be frank, this isn’t my expertise so I’m not sure that all of it is correct.
The biggest reason, as far as I can tell anyway, that the left opposes nuclear power, like the CPC (Canada) has in their platform opposition to nuclear power, is not the power itself but the weapons that ‘could’ be made from it. Unfortunately, they seem to be misunderstanding nuclear power itself. For example, there exists technology to generate nuclear power in such a way that weapons are not possible to be created from the by-product. Instead of supporting such technologies, which they are likely unaware of, they simply condemn nuclear power altogether. With this anti-nuclear sentiment, which spans communists and liberals alike, that means the burden of green energy has to come from far less efficient sources such as wind, solar, geothermal, etc., or from more geographically limited sources like hydroelectric.
Yes.
I do like the CPCanada but, of course, they are not trained in any of the natural sciences (well, at least those on their central committee) so I suppose it’s understandable.
Windfall was a facility where the bri’ish were refining weapons grade nuclear material. A fire broke out and tonnes of radioactive material was released. The bri’ish covered this up and the most attention it received was they poured out milk from surrounding dairies. For the instaboner the west loves about ghow #secretive and #cover up the #Soviets were and therefore nuclear was evil. They sure didn’t stand on that high of a horse
i’m actually doing a presentation next week about nuclear power. China just finished last year production of Pebble Bed reactors, a safe type of reactor that physically cannot meltdown and uses inert gas instead of water as a cooling agent. It’s literally the future.
