  1. I don’t think they plan on building a reactor in China and then shipping it to America.
  2. Relative to current nuclear power plant technology, the claimed benefits for 4th generation reactors include: Nuclear waste that remains radioactive for a few centuries instead of millennia[35] 100–300 times more energy yield from the same amount of nuclear fuel[36] Broader range of fuels, and even unencapsulated raw fuels (non-pebble MSR, LFTR). In some reactors, the ability to consume existing nuclear waste in the production of electricity, that is, a closed nuclear fuel cycle. This strengthens the argument to deem nuclear power as renewable energy. Improved operating safety features, such as (depending on design) avoidance of pressurized operation, automatic passive (unpowered, uncommanded) reactor shutdown, avoidance of water cooling and the associated risks of loss of water (leaks or boiling) and hydrogen generation/explosion and contamination of coolant water.
  3. If the people who love to call everyone sheep could stop taking livestock medicine, that’d be great.
  4. I haven’t seen that one but wouldn’t be surprised if there were a few sympathetic officers but more likely they realized they were outnumbered and really didn’t want disability or death. Most like these below don’t seem to be “letting” them in.
  5. Their populations descend from different sons of Noah, so probably hereditary predispositions.
  6. The alt right isn’t further right than classic right anymore than alternative rock is more rock than classic rock. It’s just more emotional and angsty. Same.
  7. Well you’re not alt right. Just classic right.
  8. Wow, the alt right is really mad all just cause a vaccine they don’t want got some magical approval.
  9. Yeah, that was Racer, he said it’s still easy to get at his farm store.
  10. Gravity proven using scientific method. The Cavendish experiment.
  11. Carl Sagan explains a scientific method to prove Earth’s curvature.
  12. “Let’’s see who else needs a deGrasse kickin” See, JT, I told you he was funny
  13. OP is spot on. A weeks worth of COVID downtime would mean one less person drag racing SUV’s during said timeframe. Community safer.
  14. Why do they build light houses as towers? How does the light being way up high benefit incoming boats? I wouldn’t think they’d spend the extra construction costs just for style points but who knows.
  15. Just what Florida needs, another super spreader event!
  16. That’s CGI.
  17. I just hope this JT fella isn’t a policeman - sir do you know how fast you were going? 55. Nope, 1055 - here’s your ticket!
  18. It’s effects are very real, easily observable, and measurable. Can you honestly not tell that Neil was just being facetious to get a rise out of the interviewer? Do you struggle with social cues?
