«To produce the 25 tonnes or so of uranium fuel needed to keep your average reactor going for a year entails the extraction of half a million tonnes of waste rock and over 100,000 tonnes of mill tailings. These are toxic for hundreds of thousands of years. The conversion plant will generate another 144 tonnes of solid waste and 1343 cubic metres of liquid waste.
Contamination of local water supplies around uranium mines and processing plants has been documented in Brazil, Colorado, Texas, Australia, Namibia and many other sites. To supply even a fraction of the power stations the industry expects to be online worldwide in 2020 would mean generating 50 million tonnes of toxic radioactive residues every single year.»

Maybe you rather have corporatism and fascism?
where democracy is replaced
with
corporatism at the expense of public health, enlightenment and freedom where corporations can pummel the public into submission and where governments are divested of the ability to control policy, economy, and ultimately the fate of the nation.
Hurry, let's
replace democratic socialism
with a financialised and hypermobile global capital state from a tradition of a privileged, predominantly white and male perspective whose economic identity is intimately intertwined with the most egregious form of predatory capitalism and prosperous circumstances built on the backs of imperialism, colonialism, slavery and white supremacy,
who believes that this prosperity was not only normal, but legitimately earned.
Hurry, let's
take down democracy, science, education and freedom
and replace it with
utopian anarcho-capitalist pseudo-religious fascist anarchist white supremo haven
where we, their disposable work horses, works our arses off for minimum wages before we die bending over for the billionaire oligarchs casual gods.
Hurry. let's be
mesmerised by buffoons who encourage us to channel the anger that should be reserved for billionaires towards immigrants, women, Jews, Muslims, people of colour and other imaginary enemies and customary scapegoats.
Let's become billionaire worshippers, let's become peasants for plutocracy
"Sold to the public as quasi-scholarly organizations, their real function was to legitimize the right to pollute for oil, gas and coal companies, and to argue for ever more tax cuts for the people who created them.The genius of this strategy is to “turn corporate self-interest into a movement among people on the streets”
Dark Money review: Nazi oil, the Koch brothers and a rightwing revolution
The 20th century will go down as the century when corporate polluters realized, by using billions on disinformation campaigns, they could dupe the public into believing their attacks on science was about the science being wrong, when it really was about them protecting their blood money flow.
If the internet had been around in the 60s and 70s, climate deniers would be arguing against the health effects of smoking, and dredging up historical/anecdotal examples to insist that lung cancer was "natural", while warning that smoking cessation efforts were all part of a global conspiracy of taxation and socio-economic control.
"As early as the 1950s, the groups shared scientists and publicists to downplay dangers of smoking and climate change".
