Why don't global warming alarmists in the Deep South do without air conditioning?

Um, if you've paid attention, you would notice that there are many special interests (private and governmental) paying to PROVE Global Warming ManBearPig as well...

One day someone is going to combine an efficient method for desalination of the ocean with an efficient method for turning water into massive amounts of energy.
And it will be way after we're dead.
Question -- how much nuclear waste is create by nuclear power plants? Is it something we could eventually launch into space on gigantic ships every few years?

Because they aren’t told to advocate for it

Climate change is really about wealth redistribution and not about finding solutions.

Wait is this true?
Why don't we just pay Elon Musk to launch it into space?
I guess if that ship blew up, we'd be really fricked though

That's why
records keep being broken every year ..right moron?

Talk to the french about nuclear power.

The french don't give a shite what anyone thinks. We could take a lesson or two in that regard.
Unfortunately they’ve started to become cucked by the anti-nuclear crowd.
That said, the French reprocess their used fuel rods - something not allowed in the US - and ultimately are able to reuse up to 98% of their fuel thus producing significantly less hazardous waste than our systems here. That process isn’t used here because it would require the mass transportation of used fuel to a reprocessing facility and the environmentalists and politicians have had absolute fits over the idea of waste being transported near/through their area.
Interestingly enough a French company was responsible for the construction of the new containment structure over the old sarcophagus at Chernobyl. A colleague of mine worked with a man, a nuclear engineer, who had been there during the construction of the original structure. His body was contaminated enough to show up as about twice the background radiation. He took a very laid back “it is what it is” attitude about it.

The Nuclear industry was making a lot of headway with green folks until Fukushima happened. That really threw a wet blanket on the whole thing. France was leading the way and it was going to be a huge boom to Shaw because they had recently acquired 20% of Westinghouse and PCI. People from Baton Rouge were traveling all over the US and Europe to work on those projects.
People started caring more about the screwups in Crystal Springs, FL after Fukushima happened and then there was a "minor" containment incident with the Grand Gulf plant in MS that was only discovered because it set off alarms downstream by River Bend.

While I don't know enough about this topic to discuss it, I do know one thing. These global warming alarmist advocates are just as much of idiots as those who are convinced there is no type of climate change.
Most are just picking sides and just repeat what they hear.
But in this case, the answer to this is because people think nuclear and automatically think bad which is based on perception.

Records have always been broken moron. If you believe that money can solve climate change or even help then you truly are a moron. Man has done so little to change climate it shouldn’t even be discussed. All bullshite.

They don't give a flip about global warming, climate change, or the environment.
They just don't want people like the people who post on this board to have full-sized trucks, 4-bedroom houses, and so on.
Some of them don't understand this lifestyle. Some of them don't have it and are bitter. The more upstanding ones probably do think it's somehow vaguely unsustainable, but even they don't have a very deep understanding of the issues.
It's the same with guns. Those gun control people aren't afraid of getting shot. They just see other people (who aren't like them) enjoying themselves and it pisses them off.

This statement is by someone who does not know the difference between US reactors and Soviet reactors. This will never happen with the safety features in place. Hell even after Fukushima the NRC made it mandatory for each site to spend millions in upgraded safety features that really wasn’t necessary. And I do know what I’m talking about after 30 years working in Nuclear Plants across the nation
My sarcasm was not detected

You have to realize that many of these enviro fruits will always be against any type of power because they don't like progress of any kind because they want us to live like underdeveloped, 3rd world nation's.

The question is how big or little is that impactation. Deforestation world wide, along with the ever increasing pollutants from our factories and wastes, are most definitely affecting our environment.
Because the hysteria over global warming is absolute BS. The climate has always changed and always will. Hell there was a mini ice age in the 1800s.
I can ride down any road around and look out as far as I can see and I will always see smog in the background. Some of these places are are along some deep country roads. Then you got places that is 1,000x worse like in china and other places.

I admit I don’t have strong feelings one way or the other, but OP makes a great point. While we all understand the risk that comes with nuclear power, surely that risk the immediate surrounding environment pales in comparison to the alleged certain risk of world devastation if we do nothing in 12/20/50/100/whatever years.
I’m not even saying the global warming extremists are wrong; I’m just saying that if they’re correct then why aren’t they beating down doors to promote the most clean form of energy we have and will have for the foreseeable future.

There were vineyards in Iceland and Greenland way earlier then the 1809’s. Must have been some terrible cars back then.
