Meanwhile Fukushima still uninhabitable and currently as we speak dumping tritium into the ocean

Sure but fossil fuels about to make the whole planet uninhabitable... And massive oil spills in the ocean are much too common

But solar and wind don't. Why must we use nuclear. We could weatherproof houses and paint rooftops white. There are a million solutions that don't require me to get radiation poisoned

You're not going to get radiation poisoning from a nuclear plant, unless you're planning to personally planning to break in and turn off all the safeties to cause another Chernobyl (also there are more safeties now, since, y'know...). You don't have concerns about nuclear, you have baseless fears. With current battery technology we can't fulfill energy demands just off solar and wind, so it's coal or nuclear. As much as it does have legitimate downsides, you are at about as much risk from radiation as you are from a windmill falling on you.

Love how I'm getting downvoted for promoting solar and wind lol

dumping tritium into the ocean

Despite what Chinese propaganda keeps saying, it's very safe amounts. Less than just safe... negligible. The IAEA has been monitoring levels in the area and tritium levels haven't even gone up detectably. Tritium also has a fairly short half-life of 12.5 years.

Ahh yes, because being concerned that the idiots who keep leaking radioactive water into the environment might be less than competent is muh CPC propaganda.

You can be pro-nuclear power while still criticizing the company that keeps mishandling nuclear power.

But after that half life it turns into checks notes

Helium! How scandalous!

Piss decomposes into harmless elements in much less time but I'm still gonna be mad at the guy openly pissing in the pool.

Try ingesting it. Literally 4 members my family died from cancer and there are correlated numbers

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 0 points 2 years ago

I am sorry for your loss, but just because cancer cause their death, doesn't mean that radioactivity caused the cancer
