In St. Louis, nuclear waste in a landfill has caused cancer in north county black and brown neighborhoods for decades.
It is generally those who have not witnessed the ramifications of nuclear waste and/or disaster that are its proponents. Something that takes tens of thousands of years to decay, considering climate change, climate change catastrophe, movements in human population, and geologic change, we are full of hubris to consider it a green power option. But all the rose-tinted know-it-all tech bro will vote me down. Idgaf.
I never said anything about fossil fuels, and do not wish them continued use either.
Nuclear energy has a long tail of recent and less recent horrors. These horrors affect the globe in their consequences and should give great pause, despite the passive meltdown aversion systems being implemented in modern reactors. Being slow to implement nuclear energy plants is a feature, not a bug.
An important aside, humans generally have a problem with funding regulatory structures involved in keeping the public safe, constant vigilance gets an ax when budgets are manic. I certainly do not trust the US government to maintain regulatory pressure on nuclear power to keep the public safe from grave harm. Until the manic bipolarity of the current political climate subsides, this will be the case at the very least.
FWIW, if it is not clear, I see absolutely no reason to trust China on nuclear energy regulation either.
Fucking Nazis
And the Overton Window shifts to the right in Germany.
Gonna be agonizing to live through 4+ years of this bullshit. We need to run them scared out of here.
Josh Hawley is a complete waste.
The foreign “aid” needing pausing are the pox of unwelcome US military bases dotting the planet.
Recently for a small amount of their content. Personally the editorial choice of putting that particular article behind the paywall, considering how important it is to the moment we all face, is questionable.
Thank you.
Paywall 👎
Yes. OpenAI was non-profit at one point as well.
Copying protected work without consent has been their MO so nothing changed.
The time-honored US tradition of writing new chapters of genocide of Palestinians through the new president, regardless of party. Forced evacuation is ethnic cleansing. Ethnic cleansing is a fancy word for genocide.
Yeah I know, talking a lot of blowhard talk. Chip die size was the arbitrary argument, but again, that just takes time. They are hedging their bet with a supposed ally with China being their big threat.
"TSMC will produce 3nm chips in the U.S., and Taiwan has already given TSMC the go-signal to manufacture 2nm chips abroad. "
OK. It is ahistorical and hyperbolic to say they may never do that. They also have their fabs i n Taiwan rigged to self destruct if they get invaded. They are setting up shop in a different country. As fab dies shrink they get harder to make, they are building expertise somewhere else in case.
TSMC have advanced chip fabrication factory in Arizona in the US.
“TSMC will produce 3nm chips in the U.S., and Taiwan has already given TSMC the go-signal to manufacture 2nm chips abroad.”
Can I have some. We’re all out here starving bro.
