SpankyMcFarland Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 The benefit in entirely due to human beings virtually vacating the region. There is nothing to suggest that radioactivity has anything to do with it at all. Of course. Radioactivity is a thing to be minimized but it has been less dangerous to animals in the region than was first thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpankyMcFarland Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) What a pity we can't turn over more of the planet to animals entirely. The Korean DMZ has seen similar benefits. Edited September 28, 2015 by SpankyMcFarland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIP Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) Because the capital commitment is immense, as is the time it takes for any kind of healthy return on investment. And this is why nuclear and the oil industry is pushing so hard to get more concessions from government! If it comes to a straight head-to-head competition with renewables, they're fast reaching the time (if not already there) where they are no longer competitive without using government to prop up their businesses. In Africa and Asia already, new powerplant projects are being mothballed because potential investors fear too many are buying solar panels, solar cookers and windmills to make the power stations and the electrical grids profitable.

WIP Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Nuclear power's record is a lot safer than most people think. Even one of its most infamous disasters has brought surprising benefits to the environment. http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/nuclear_power/2013/01/wildlife_in_chernobyl_debate_over_mutations_and_populations_of_plants_and.html Great!

bush_cheney2004 Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 What does nuclear energy have to do with the "war on data"? It's just another way to work in an American angle, because they have Google and the easiest to find links/cites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
On Guard for Thee Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 It's just another way to work in an American angle, because they have Google and the easiest to find links/cites.We are all well aware of who works in the American angle. But thanks for playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIP Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 What does nuclear energy have to do with the "war on data"? Well, off the top, it's another industry that benefits from limiting public access to information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
