[–] Dr_pepper_spray@lemmy.world -5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) Why do I feel like the call for more nuclear power has just been another sneaky ass ploy by Russia to use resources as a source for power? https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/energy/2023/08/03/niger-coup-the-long-arm-of-russia-and-the-politics-of-uranium/23879d0e-31b5-11ee-85dd-5c3c97d6acda_story.html Edit: yup. Thanks for convincing me. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Stilicho@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago* (1 child) You do understand solar panels and wind mills have to be built, right? What do you think they're made out of? Your comment is the most Reddit-esque snubby contrarian gotcha bs. "Other people have an opinion other than mine? No it must be the Russians trying to brainwash those dumber than me. I wouldn't fall for it since I'm such a smart cookie." Russians historically fueled anti nuclear protests and scares in Germany. There isn't a uranium shortage to speak of. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Dr_pepper_spray@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Oh, and Nuclear Power plants are just plopped down? Your comment wreaks of pie in the sky, uneducated bullshit. Solar and Wind don't take nearly as much fuel, maintenance, zoning, upfront costs or be subject to international power plays like nuclear power. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Stilicho@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago* (1 child) Do you not understand how bigger theoretical yield on investment = more development possibilities? I wasn't really trying to get in an idiotic discussion of "You're wrong", "No you" about the advantages of nuclear power. I just wanted to tell you your stupid theory about the Russians was befuddlingly retarded. For the purpose of nuclear power uranium supplies on earth may as well be infinite. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Dr_pepper_spray@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago No they aren't, for one and I wasn't just talking about uranium but the refining of it - these definitely favor Russian in a war of resources. permalink fedilink source parent
