“End Nuclear Insanity Before Nuclear Insanity Ends Humanity.”
APR 11, 2024
LLAW’s COMMENTARY, Wednesday, (04/10/2024)
The following article is the best we have to offer today as the conflict over who is is fighting whom over the Ukraine’s (and Europe’s) largest and most endangered nuclear power plant, and the danger continues to grow into the 4th day . . .
The following link is to an article evaluating what it will take for the world to triple its nuclear energy output by by 2050, which, by the way, does not solve the CO2 problem anyway even if we succeeded. The business-like approach points out all the typical ‘gentlemen’s’ points and how difficult accomplishing the pledge will be. But at the summary, there is some blurb about even if we don’t get there, it could make us more aware of the problem. I doubt that ‘awareness’ has ever been the problem, and I also doubt it ever will be. The only way to stop it from asphyxiating ourselves is to quit discharging it. But, for sure, nuclear power is not the answer and never will be.
Personally, I can tell you the day, as loosely planned, will never arrive, which is no different than any other kind of pact that is made at these various and sundry international get-togethers to tell the world how “they” will ‘save the world’ from global warming and climate change by some magical ‘alchemy’ that will allow nuclear power to somehow ‘blow’ CO2 away or dilute it enough, to thin the air of greenhouse gases (GHG), at least to some degree, by pretending that CO2 sort of just evaporates and disappears, but in reality they constantly accumulate for as long as it’s they’re being exhausted into the air we breathe. The nightmare will never be resolved with such a plan — especially by adding nuclear energy (which is even more deadly than CO2) to the mix. ~llaw
