Modern reactors don't explode, but how do we prove it?. It's disgraceful, really, that reality doesn't always match our plan.

No problem; now that I am assured you are not AI, I am happy to engage with you. Upon re-reading, it was the writing style of the quotes you used that made it seem like you were AI.

In that case, you might enjoy reading Pre-Industrial Societies: Anatomy of the Pre-Modern World. It's more solid scientifically than some pop science books.

Is it going to be safe? How do we know?

No one is doubting that electricity is useful. The intended output of nuclear power plants is great: power.

The worrying, doubting, lingering is, "Will they explode?" The pollution from nuclear power plants potentially outweighs the benefits.

How much pollution will the intentionally/unintentionally have?

Your comment is dumb.

That's just businesses squabbling, not killing people. Who cares? As long as they aren't attacking me.

Oh Iran? Now you care about far away countries when they are Iran, but not China's neighbors? It's obvious that you're an America hater.

It's ok to hate America, a lot of people do, but please try to be rational about it.

You're a partisan who hates centrists.

When you're a centrist, life is tough. You get hate from both sides.

Well, that's not your true opinion.

But also it's not a factual thing (ie, it's not "predictable politics). For example, https://thediplomat.com/2025/1...

We'll see if Russia manages to fix their supply route problems. Putin looks like he'll live for a long time yet.

If Ukraine goes north into Russia towards Moscow, I agree with you, Russia is likely to use a nuke. That will be an existential threat, which is the bar Russia has set for using nukes.

On the other hand, if Ukraine manages to take Crimea, will Russia use a nuke? It's not an existential threat, it's just a vacation spot. They might use it, but it's hard to know.

It's not really about inequality. It's about a system where man abuses man. If we had a system where man does not abuse man, then the communist ideal has been achieved even if the state doesn't entirely own the means of production.

Nah,you're just letting your anti-american hate blind you. Anti-american hate is fine, but being blinded is not. Look at the facts. When was the last time China attack its neighbor?

It's not about "official" story. It's about looking at the evidence and seeing what is there.

We're not a totalitarian country, we can be scientific.
