    pro-nuke when you tell them nuclear energy is fossil fuel energy: 😡

    *wind and solar are unarguably the best energy sourcrs, and the only sustainable ones.

      it isn’t tough, fossil fuel implies hydrocarbons, as that’s where the fossil part comes from.

      Nuclear fuel is non renewable but it is also clean.

        It’s clean regarding chemical waste.

        I’ve helped build nuclear waste caskets, nothing is perfect but the amount of attention put into making it safe is incredible! The layers (and quality) of stainless steel welds would put your average steel bridge to shame…

        But fission will always be limited (as in non-renewable). If everything was powered by nuclear, I’m sure we’d see even more awefull mining operations. Also, fusion should in theory be much better, if the thermodynamics of it end up working.

          fusion 100% is the future whenever it’s figured out.

          But I’m not as scared as mining, my country has a lot of mining operations, mostly copper, but the modern tech they have is quite incredible, they use robots to mine, wich are safely controlled in an office building in the city.
