I remember when I thought nuclear plants pumped nuclear waste into the air, then I did some research and learned that it's the steam as nuclear power is basically super-power-hydro-electric. The reactions create so much heat that water is used to A: Not go into meltdown and B: funnel that evaporating water through turbines released as steam. I haven't looked into it for a while but I believe that's the gist of it.
Yup! Renewable is good. Not great, good. I also saw a story about how there's nations in Africa who have been extending a forest line to prevent the Sahara from spreading which also will yield cooler temperatures and increase water formation. I listen to a podcast about home building and one talking point was that removing all the "green lawns" actually raises the temperature of the surrounding area, thus reducing the water through evaporation. Foliage doesn't just need water, it produces it through environmental interactions.
Everyone's being so civil :thumbsup:
thats exactly what you will hear from the activists, completely uneducated bs
ask them what radioactivity even is, you wont hear much
