The Truth About Nuclear Energy

2:41 If I wanted to make big bucks from nuclear energy, I'd say there were to health effects too. Epstein agrees.

United States is a nuclear power, they hold lots of it, but they don't use any of it. They got soooo many nukes... how do people expect to dispose of that?
The sheer amount of regulation and laws on building fission has made it all but impossible, financially, to build new nuclear reactors.

Safe & Effective 💀

Similar to how releasing wild animals into the wild reduces fatal car crashes caused by deer less people die overall but if a cougar kills your kid the government did it.

what about long term deaths because of cancer?

spent nuclear fuel rods are not waste.

Spent nuclear fuel rods are classified as high level nuclear waste because of the intense gamma radioactivity from Cesium that builds up during reactor operation. This gamma radioactivity is intense because; unlike the very long half lives of radioactive elements that have always been in our food, soil, and body; the half life of radioactive Cesium is only about 30 years. Fortunately, before the end of World War II, clever scientists figured out how to protect us from this kind of radioactivity using various shielding materials. Another element that builds up during reactor operation is fissionable plutonium. This plutonium is present in recoverable quantities and can be used to fabricate new fuel rods.
After 3 to 5 hundred years the radioactivity from Cesium is pretty much gone and plutonium recovery is safe using established technologies. Yes, spent fuel rods fresh out of the reactor are highly radioactive but they are not waste. Think of spent fuel rods as a fine scotch that takes longer to age. They are a gift of cheap energy we will leave for future generations to enjoy.

You just seriously minimized Chernobyl’s disaster citing Soviet propaganda of the immediate deaths you assholes. The number of cancers and deaths resulting has been credibly cited to up to 60k in Europe. You’re as bad as Oil propagandists pushing an obvious agenda for a technology that has had 7 dangerous breakdowns that included some human error and guess what- we’re humans! Try pushing for research on Fusion and Hydrogen while we move to green energy sourcing. What? They aren’t paying for your little propaganda video?

gain

u need whos plasma today? 2 stay alive? why.

The power plant in the first 10 seconds is not a nuclear power plant. It is a cold plant in Juliette, Georgia off of Lake Juliet. Get your facts straight Lil Bro.

Die hard 2 6:33

ok buddy u forgot to link the video

So the moral of the story is, they thought nuclear power was dangerous to come and find out they were lied to for pretty much all day life. Then in the same breath, talk about the climate crisis, which is another lie which it would probably take them another lifetime to figure out. 🤣🤣🤣

One nuclear plant is equal to seven to ten solar farms.

One thing the simpsons got right about nuke plant workers...we eat alot of donuts

Okay so what I need to know is what stock I should buy

I feel like the 51 deaths from Chernobyl is missing a bunch of deaths
The plant workers,
The firefighters,
Liquidators,
People who inhaled a hot particle,
People who lived in pripiat (I know not everyone died but some people must have gotten cancer later in life)

I've heard anything from 5000 to 21000 deaths (I believe anywhere from 5-10000)

It still doesn't change the fact that nuclear is the safest and also Chernobyl was just about the worst possible disaster

They used a ton of barely enriched uranium meaning more fallout, they had no containment building around just the biological shields,
And it wasn't told to anyone until weeks later,
And despite all of that it's still poisoned less land than fossil fuels and killed less than fossil fuels

1:37 SIXXX SEVEENN

you don't look at all scientific when you say we are in the 6th mass extinction.. A mass extinction is defined as the loss of at least 75% of the worlds species..
Number of described species on earth 2.5 million (probably a small percentage of the actual number) . Endangered species.. 48,000 (not extinct.. just endangered)
that means we currently have less then 2% of identifies species on endangered lists.. not quite the same thing is it..? less of an alarmist headline or click bait though..

"All the times they have broken down in history"
The 3 or maybe 4 times lol

Schools should teach firearms proficiency and safety like they used to instead of phobia and hysteria.

The Russians, in their incarnation as the USSR, funded anti nuclear propaganda by supporting the Green Party in Germany. This allowed them to step in and sell the Germans massive amounts of natural gas whereby their industrial output became dependant on it. Russia gained wealth, Germany became dependant on gas, Russia held Germany hostage economically. Meanwhile, it would have been o much more sensible to rely on nuclear, as France demonstrated.

Fun fact: you get more background radiation by standing next to a coal power plant than a nuclear one

7:05 maybe don’t put it in a place called Diablo canyon 😂😂

》》》With electric vehicles parked 23hrs every day and all night long, 5 days of electricity will always be available, and topped up daily.

In Australia, 20million vehicles, 20million roofs and 20million meter boxes.

Just a fact of modern life in 20years.

Biggest problem is cashflow for the grid owner's infrastructure investment.

For Australia 1million km at more than $1million per km.
ROI on a many $TRILLIONS infrastructure investment is $100sBILLIONS per year for decades and decades and decades...

Can grid owners trust nuclear nuts ???

Can grid owners trust 20million PV roofs feed-in and a stable unloaded national electrical grid to supply industrial consumers moving away from fossil fuel ?

Risk wise government can be trusted to maintain a cheaper national electrical grid.

Risk wise bankers can trust privately owned renewable PV roofs and EV's in private ownership.

Modern nuclear power plants are obviously the solution to the constantly increasing need for electrical power in the world. The "public perception" of nuclear power needs to be changed through the "marketing of less expensive electrical energy" to every person world-wide! Solar, wind, and other supposedly "green" alternatives are not the answer, only everyone's pocket book will decide the answer! David Riddle

time to show this to my mother to show it is totally fine for me to wanna work at a nuclear power plant worker, I, a random 15 y/o, became obbsessed with the story of Chernobyl and from that chemistry and physics all together

Look up Galen Winsor 'Nuclear Scare Scam'
Also, carbon is good as the plants and trees need it. Maybe we should be planting far more and investing in reforestation projects.
We also exhale carbon it's impossible to be net 0 carbon.
Let's also stop letting big corps invest in propaganda like 'climate change' and various others they use to fear monger us to follow a set plan they already accounted for with their paid Think Tanks.

1:38 how many

1:38 how many nuclear power plants?

Hold on. The nuke plant is shutting down due to maintenance costs. Hmmmm. Not worth a renovation????? Can’t be that efficient

Calm down with the climate crisis BS. That's been debunked and you know it.

This is all you need to know about nuclear energy

Forget these two buffoon's

I know this was posted a while ago but the fear drove up costs because they implemented many kinda unnecessary restrictions on reactor design and construction, so the fear did hurt adoption.

If Japan,korea,china builds nuclear power plants but earthquakes occur frequently in pacific, the Pacific Ocean will become contaminated with nuclear waste.CHINA.KOREA Japan's population will have to be halved.

For the record Environmentalists are actually lying to you as well as they are opposed to it (green peace and sierra club to name a few)

Not safe when you're in the war like Ukraine

Nuclear power promoters have long have a habit of omitting numerous troubling issues from their presentations. One is that in the U.S. the quest to create a permanent deep geological repository for the highly radioactive waste products generated by military and civilian nuclear power reactors began in the 1950s. The U.S. still doesn't have such a final spent nuclear fuel permanent waste disposal repository. No nuclear power on Earth has an operating deep geological repository for such high level radioactive waste. The other products from the power plants have been considered far more important, including the revenues generated from the sale of the electricity.

Virtually all nuclear energy promoters, are in line with the vast majority of Earth's other 8.2+ billion humans, who continue to assume that we still have at least 20 years left to turn this 'Titanic' around using their favorite nuclear technology. They have become masterful in excluding the following warning from their consciousness.
