Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@hugodabron3556 says : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UC_BCz0pzMw>> <<@johnjones6601 says : Unfortunately, Australia has an anti-intellectual culture which is hostile to new ideas. Australians argue through the emotions using ad hominem and rhetoric rather than reason and rationality. Nuclear is a no brainer but the middle class hysteria surrounding it, means it’ll never get up as a going concern. The even more insane people thing is that we sell our own uranium overseas but leave ours in the ground!! A culture that’s hostile to the life of the mind will always be second rate.>> <<@fugawiaus says : The big reason for nuclear acceptance is the lack of argument and hypocrisy against it. They say wind and solar, we say they are unreliable, we then say coal, they say but muh co2, we say ok…… nuclear, they say………. Um………………………..>> <<@stevenmitchell7830 says : Why nuclear when we can all drive Teslas with solar panels in place of the sun roof and wind turbines on the boot? Ask any Greens voter!>> <<@mayuleellaisri4135 says : Want Australia have everything nuclears, submarine, kit if armys, strong Armys, Navy, Airforce>> <<@mayuleellaisri4135 says : Yes, happy if Australia gave nuclear so China never bully again lol?>> <<@rissole7229 says : Australia will never advance whilst we are paralysed by pandemic paranoia or while the regressive lefties control the narrative>> <<@bruceelisha3017 says : There are no environmental benefits of Nuclear Energy. Carbon foot print is just a distraction. It is not about some accident or attack it is the fact that nuclear waste lasts for years.>> <<@chriss6971 says : Hmmm nuclear subs, nuclear power now, someone wants to be a good lap dog for America in the pacific.>> <<@soarmilo2703 says : I bet power bills won’t go down though>> <<@pgstdb says : Australia has been the stupid country for far too long. We must adopt nuclear energy now. By banning nuclear power the Socialist cabal has been furthering global warming for decades. If you care about the planet then stop voting for Labor and the Greens.>> <<@thekrutchinator says : And if you did a proper poll you would find 75% of people favour Nuclear Energy!>> <<@joshzaiden3807 says : "Nuclear-free South Pacific" -- Chewish Edict (1995)>> <<@charlesandelfinger3474 says : Australia has abundant deposits of thorium that could power this country for milleniums. And it is a clean green energy. The ratio of energy output between coal and thorium is 1:1,900.000 in favour of thorium. MSR (Molten Salt Reactor) experiment (1959-1973) at Oak Ridge was a compete success and is now used as a model in building modern MSR's. The other benefits: they are able to burn nuclear waste from uranium reactors, very high temperatures for aluminium smelting and high quality isotopes for medical research. And last, 100% SAFE and much cheaper to build than uranium powered reactors.>> <<@MrSmithwayne says : Nuclear is our future, the eventual shift from Fission to Fusion will occur but the transition will not happen without continued investment in Fission and Fusion.>> <<@auction00 says : Controlled self-sustained thermonuclear fusion is the future of this technology.>> <<@simmapallen says : Nuclear is clean, coal effects our health in a negative way. The choice is easy if you're thinking of a future.>> <<@DgurlSunshine says : WATER DUMMIES>> <<@DgurlSunshine says : LIES>> <<@DgurlSunshine says : NOT and you can drink radioactive waste too>> <<@fungi708 says : Uranium sales>> <<@dutchymon says : The most stupid way to boil water and run an electric generator is with highly toxic nuclear energy.>> <<@spzaruba5089 says : If you build in a safe location and keep up with maintenance nuclear is the smartest way to go. If your politicians are going to cut maintenance costs for pet programs, skip it.>> <<@melvynobrien6193 says : The development of more nuclear power plants will inevitably result in more meltdowns and more radioactivity. Nuclear is not a good option. It will end in disaster. And that idiot is talking about the "carbon footprint," and that means he doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about. We need more carbon, not less. There was more in the atmosphere a century ago than there is now. More fucking nonsense.>> <<@peterglen734 says : The problems with China show that we need Nuclear power and protection, else we are just a country that can be easily taken, we cant always rely on allies on 100% if a war broke out.We need our own program not just for us but for our friends who are unable to protect them selves>> <<@richardraymond878 says : This is worth looking at re nuclear power advances https://youtu.be/-KEwkWjADEA>> <<@johnpatrick1588 says : Politicians will terrify Australians out of wanting nukes. Covid showed them how to control minds,>> <<@glencozens2940 says : Wind and solar continue to reign supreme as Australia’s cheapest sources of new electricity generation, with the latest assessment from the CSIRO confirming that renewables continue to outcompete coal and gas. 2030 predicted levelised cost per MWh $230 Nuclear $187 Black coal with carbon capture and storage $141 Gas with carbon capture and storage $47 Wind $44 Solar>> <<@jamesmterrell says : Solar is anything but cheap. You have to purchase batteries to store and supply energy when the sun and wind don't cooperate. Environmentalists are Nazi's and dedicated.>> <<@xc1951 says : Nuclear energy nuclear subs nuclear bombs we want it all>> <<@derekmoore2779 says : Bring back coal>> <<@ericw2995 says : There's no way to store the spent nuclear fuel for 250000 years guys.>> <<@bijayrai942 says : As an international student i wonder why Australia still highly depending on Coal as a major sources of Electricity. I have seen a huge potential in wave/tidal, and solar as an energy sources. I think Aussie have sufficient tech and can innovate ideas to make greater use of these resources to max limit. just my opinion>> <<@donnairn3419 says : What nuclear energy is viable in an appropriate time line We need Gw of generation in the next 5 years just to replace the coal fired power stations that are due to be decommissioned. The research I have done suggests the BWRX-300 in Canada is planed to be completed on 2028 ( projects like this never run late or over budget). In Australia the lights will well and truly be off by then.>> <<@dennismcdonnell7853 says : It is not much of a poll since I am 74 and have not even heard of it. Once the 'Commonwealth of Australia' government has been retaken by the people. we will have free energy, and there will be no need for nuclear anything. All these elite world entities with their failed New World Order meetings full of hidden agendas will be finished with and all their evil attempts at world power takeovers will just be history in this coming year. Covid will also just be a memory, although all the people that fell for the virus lie will mostly be dead unless a cure for those that were injected is found.>> <<@spinafex5729 says : Shouldn't this article have a label saying advertorial paid for by BHP or Energy Resources of Australia?>> <<@peterschmidt1453 says : I'm not a supporter of current reactor designs, they must be much safer, but how can we have a nuclear industry when our gutless politicians can't even select a nuclear waste storage site. Australia has 1 operating reactor at Lucas Heights, 50 years of radioactive waste is piled up around it because no politician will back a disposal site in their electorate. This stuff has to go somewhere and piling it up in a suburb or Sydney is just stupid.>> <<@vickized6297 says : Absolutely not in favor of Nuclear Power, don't believe this garbarge, most people are against it!>> <<@seandavis7887 says : $1500+ quarterly power bills up from $450 max 10 years ago can soon change the moral barometer of even the most diehard greenie lol.>> <<@oldman2800 says : Thorium safe cheap versatile>> <<@fatwombat2611 says : Nuclear will be the future with or with out Australia. How do you think we are going to charge all these electric cars and still reduce carbon. Currently most electric cars are really powered by coal or gas.>> <<@danielmaher964 says : Make Australia Nuclear 🇦🇺>> <<@Drakesy says : from a room temperature IQ to one slightly above lukewarm? This is the government that complains about lack of Australian manufacturing and blames China for it, yet has zero policies to improve it.>> <<@megasquirrel7944 says : Once Australia has a nuclear industry, instead of selling the uranium ore, Australia can refine and sell as rods, as a value add. A nuclear industry can also open the pink hydrogen generation. All green and can export ammonia globally.>> <<@lovepeace9780 says : Saint Joseph. Terror of demons. Pray for us.. . .>> <<@johnmcafee9663 says : most authoritarian democracy in the world says industrial intellectual level to rise>> <<@d53101 says : I am really surprised that Australia being a wealthy advanced country doesn’t make use of nuclear power for electricity generation. In Canadian we have been using nuclear power safely for decades.>> <<@klardfarkus3891 says : Fear of China has one good outcome, australia is beginning to be accepting of nuclear power>> <<@jonss1948 says : You say: "Why the sudden shift"? It's not sudden and it's always been there. Spineless Politicians is why it has never been addressed.>> <<@barryg1965 says : Low Footprint!?Look to every Closed Nuclear Site!What Bullshite!>>
