And all that nuclear waste has to go somewhere......

If you're speaking of depleted fuel rods, then you're talking a long time before they are spent. And plenty of deep caves to seal them up in. Take up way less space than you think.
One reactor may not create a lot of nuclear waste, but a myriad of reactors would and that stuff stays radioactive for what 10,000yrs or more?
Heaven forbid it somehow leeches into the ground water table....
The rods are only part of the nuclear waste, there's suits, gloves, rags and all sorts of other maintenance items that are all contaminated and go into nuclear waste sites......
And all it takes is a melt down to really gets things going.....we've seen these before already....and 3 Mile Island was really close to one at one point...

We have as much risk as we do all the ingredients that go into making any fuel sources leeching into the water.
Meltdown risk have come long way safety wise. A reactor melting down has been greatly reduced since 3 mile and Chernobyl.
Japan taught us how s little stupidity can cause great harm. I never imagined diesel generators would be allowed to be exposed to floodwaters. It's seems elementary stupid to have not thought that out. Particularly as advanced as I assumed the Japanese are. That was so avoidable!
It seems all electrical power generation has some sort of environmental impact or issue...
We have have very little direct sunlight since mid Dec and people who have solar are not getting any returns from their investment right now.
Wind turbines cause some sort of low droning noise that causes issues,
Hydro electric dams are decent but even cause issue for migrating fish ...some have fish ladders but not all and then there's the large flood plain which swallows up vast areas...
What is the answer? Hopefully science can figure that out one day....fission maybe....time will tell..

This is the new frontier yes. It's looks like they are starting grasp how to manage fission.
It might take 3 more decades but yes as we have said all along in this thread, there is always new tech being figured out that can help solve a problem.
I believe China is working on the ultimate solution. (Posted with cockamamy)
China experimenting with deadly Covid-like virus that could affect humans: Report
If a report doing the rounds on a database of pre-peer reviewed journal articles is to be believed, China has been experimenting with a new deadly Covid-like virus which is 100 per cent fatal to mice and could affect humans. The paper published on bioRxiv website on January 3 claimed that...

I don't know why they don't just dump the waste down an old dry well hole or suchlike. Look at that Cannikin nuclear test they did back in the 70's, they drilled and sleeved a hole over 2 meters in diameter, 2 km deep, and took down 400 tons of equipment for it. They dug out a cavern down there and all of it just to let off a big cracker. So spend the money on a deep storage facility this time. You could build a military base over it and there would be no risk of theft. Personally I think they, they, want to keep the crap handy either for military purposes or perhaps some future energy projects? It's a big investment that stuff and they may like the idea of hoarding it like we hoard old cardboard boxes.
Ammonia is an inorganic chemical compound of nitrogen and hydrogen with the formula NH3.
Before the availability of natural gas, hydrogen as a precursor to ammonia production was produced via the electrolysis of water
With the advent of the steel industry in the 20th century, ammonia became a byproduct of the production of coking coal.
Ammonia production currently creates 1.8% of global CO2 emissions. 'Green ammonia' is ammonia produced by using green hydrogen (hydrogen produced by electrolysis), whereas 'blue ammonia' is ammonia produced using blue hydrogen (hydrogen produced by steam methane reforming)
Anyway you cut it you're either using natural gas (cheap) or very expensive electrolysis methods. There is no magic fix for oil depletion I am afraid.

Just remember CO2 from cars= Bad.
CO2 from volcanoes=Good
On what level is pollution ok? Is it ok because the ruling regime doesn't allow protests about it? Is it my imagination or do you spit out the word activist like it's a bad word?
I dunno but it appears these activists aren't going after certain countries as they know what will happen to them..
Yet these countries are big producers of pollutants and should be the principle target of them....
It's easy to bully a country that actually listens and will try to change....
Activists are the same as a terrorist in my eyes.....both have an extremist point of view and push their own agenda by whatever means they deem necessary.
It's how they say it is the problem......there are many avenues available to persons who are seeking climate change other than splashing invaluable works of art with soup or red paint or disrupting a major freeway of traffic causing hundreds of vehicles to idle waiting for them to be cleared.......activist/terrorist, I see no difference.
Asking me this question is the same as asking why a terrorist is bad.....
I’ve taken beans out of my diet, as well as anything else which may produce gas.
That's your opinion. Susan B Anthony and Rosa Parks are terrorists? Definitely not my opinion.
How else do you describe these climate activists that throw material on precious works of art or try to hold everyone hostage in an attempt to force others into their ideology.
The word "activist" obviously has more than one meaning.

Point taken, Generalizing all activists as terrorists might be a bit much though, Bee.
