Nuclear has a bad name because of shitty Soviet technicians and a particularly dimwitted decision to build a nuclear reactor right next to the ocean. And then put the safety systems below sea level, including the backup generators. On an island with an immense amount of seismic activities. *surprised pikachu face* New reactors, such as the CANDU, even help solve conventional nuclear waste issues, as it can use it as it's primary fuel. It also doesn't require enriching at all for it's normal fuel. Nuclear has so much potential, but uneducated implementation has nearly ruined it for everyone.

@@dovid916 Mind you, it's not just „Shitty soviet technicians“ Firstly, those people were highly qualified engeneers for their time, and tschernobyl was mostly caused because of overseers not knowing how far you could push the plant. The united states fueled the disaster just as much as the soviet union did, by prioritizing the production of nuclear weapons over efficiency and safety. If they strained their plants to the maximum, so would the ussr, and pushing it to the maximum they did.

Video makers need to stop showing stock footage of nuclear power plants when discussing the challenges of climate change. That's water vapor you're showing and it doesn't add to CO2 emissions.
@Aaronit03 жыл бұрын
Yes and the irony is that the nuclear is one, if not the one, sector that emits the less co2. Coal or Oil powerplants are desastrous in co2 emissions and fine particules, solar and wind, extremely poluting to produce and we can't really recycle any of them. Dams use so many ressources to build and desastrous for the biodiversity. The only one that's better than nuclear fission centrals is geothermal centrals. (but can't be built everywhere, needs very specific conditions) The best option would be nuclear fusion. Using "rare" (1 part per 3000 if i remember correctly) isotopes of water to create 10 times the energy used for the reaction. What dangerous chemicals does it release then ? Dihydrogen Monoxyde : H2O. Also known as water. Nothing more. No radioactive materials for millenials, no way-more dangerous fine particules (like coal and oil powerplant does), Anything but water. So stop making nuclear sector look bad. It is one of the best, and its future is even greater.

Well, a man made a project that would grow a bunch of trees (or bushes?) of something that could grow in relatively dry conditions, and paid close attention to keep it growing ans not letting it go to waste. Well, after a bit (more) of effort, the soil there hold water pretty well, and this is only the first step. They should keep taking care of it even more until they have good fertile land from what I got.

I know that they are hoping that adding a forest line will slow or stop soil erosion, help keep moisture in the soil and have a positive effect on the albedo of the area. Have they considered working desert plants into the Sahara to try and reverse this? Or work to build artificial oasis to grow out of the interior of the desert? I have a several questions about how they could address this but they go with one of the simplest and expensive options to just plant trees? I understand the thinking but this will not see any real effect for years, possibly decades. And I will agree that $8 billion for such a project is reasonable. I feel it is a putting all your eggs in one basket kind of solution.

To be fair it’s not entirely their fault. European empires left them with independence but divided the land along lines that benefited them not the locals and made it harder for the new governments to actually govern their new subject regardless if they were republics or not. European colonies were also often sucked dry before they became independent. And were so petty they often destroyed their own infrastructure before leaving so that the locals could never become a super power contender of their own. African nations have access to some of the most fertile resource centers on earth. However, their forced to make uneven trades with the world because they don’t have the skilled workers necessary to actually extract the resources or the infrastructure to actually produce it themselves

Ranging from ethnic turf wars to drought and famine issues. While other places are prospering but still suffering from wealth inequality. Also what country would give up their land willingly to another solely on the premise that one side would get benefits the other one could use as leverage for political influence around the world. It’s even worse that a lot of these nations don’t have the infrastructure to make skilled workers fast enough because their educational systems simply didn’t receive any investment when they were still colonies. For example much of what was once French Africa. Is still dependent on French intervention because they destroyed all the schools and factories when they left so that the governments couldn’t produce resources without their help. And in an act of desperation many nations ended up making horrible deals with foreign powers like China to rebuild their economies. However, many of these deals are debt traps designed to conquer the very regions the governments are trying to save.

If you aim for shortest term pollution then burning wood cut from a well managed forest wins. If you aim for lowest cost then burning coal wins.

(300x more iirc) So it's quite ironical to see Germany stopping nuclear powerplants (that could have still worked for few decades. the cost of building is already done and all the infrastructures that has been in contact will be considered nuclear waste to be stocked so why not use it fully to have the best efficiency ?!) to replace them with coal powerplants, so + economic costs to build, + release of Co2 in the atmosphere, + release of fine particules that'll make people sicks.

Your not wrong that it didn't excuse them from war but just as you pointed out "you can't anticipate war". Some were born during the Korean war but it lasted 3 years not 18 like the baby boomers generation did, so no all were not born during it. Plus it was a tenth of the size of WW2. The Vietnam war would be a great example except for the fact that it literally happened the year after the baby boomer generation ended, weird how that happened huh? Africa being colonized is due to a multitude of factors like infighting between countries, European medical advancements, and political instability. While European weapons were more advanced and definitely played a factor keep in mind that most of non coastal Africa wasn't colonized until 1880; most had access to guns and gunpowder. The times that European powers successfully colonized just about anywhere, it heavily relied on divide and conquer tacits or they just got lucky with their timing. All of this isn't to say Africa can't or won't rise just that it still faces some great challenges.
