I completely disagree. There is nothing I prioritize over my comfort and convenience, and that INCLUDES my personal safety
if you regard safety as living in a foam covered world, which you apparently do.
Not feeling that way is one thing, but not understanding somebody else feeling that way is what I consider irrational.
I gave you the huge list of things that the nuke plant contributed to the town, and you dismiss them as irrelevant.
When somebody doesn't see things exactly as you do, your lecturing becomes pedantic and tiresome.
I don't think you realize that.

Your first paragraph is pure insipid stubbornness and irrational blather. The rest of your response follows suit. Like I said, your attitude: "We'll there's been no Chernobyl here or radiation poisoning/mutations like a sci-fi movie, so it's all good." You wouldn't buy a car or a house with similar problems I pointed out!
But given your repetitive response here, I guess you are stupid enough to do such a thing. Temporary selfish fulfillment is the cornerstone of all of American society's major problems. Thank goodness in this case things haven't gotten critical yet.
I "lecture" no more than you do, kid. What burns your ass is that you don't like being proven wrong or have your personal flaws exposed. TFB ... you post/respond, you run that risk. No one said life was fair. Carry on,

To your 1st paragraph:
In 2017, Washington state became the first state to pass a bill establishing an extended producer responsibility (EPR) program for solar panels. Starting in July 2023, the law will require manufacturers to fund collection and recycling of the panels.
In California, the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) has considered adding solar panels to its electronics recycling program. The department is working with other branches of state government to draft a paper, expected to be released this year, on end-of-life management of PV panels.
In the meantime, the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) late last year approved regulations (which were based on 2015 legislation) classifying PV modules as a universal waste, not a hazardous waste, easing regulatory burdens associated with collecting and shipping them. That being said, the panels are still considered hazardous if testing shows they exceed hazardous metals concentration limits in California or federal law, and universal waste handlers are required to do that testing when they discard the panels.
NOTHING there about NOT being economically feasible. Instead, its about NOT putting hazardous waste into the environment. Recycle means jobs to do so, genius. Once again, you stubbornly just parrot your assertion, putting your cognitive reasoning skills on hold. What's pathetic is how you keep inserting your supposition and conjecture as if it's fact (never has been, never will be).
But probably the dumbest thing you keep parroting with insipid stubbornness is how economically safe and relatively inexpensive nuke power is. My link s demonstrated the the estimated billions that goes into storage of nuke waste. In all your sources, you HAVE NOT shown any "recoup" for the citizenry. This is just another bit of nonsense you throw up against wall in hopes of diverting from the FACTS disprove your beliefs. Now I don't expect you to concede a point....MAGA mooks, much less nuke wonks NEVER DO. I just want the objective readers to see you scurry to and fro until you finally have a melt down. Carry on.

One would think that such an obviously imminent disaster as a nuclear accident would dissuade people from spending seven figures on a house there, wouldn't you Taich?
Yet, here we have the real estate transactions in the Sunday paper saying quite clearly that this isn't the case.
Keep thinking that you know every fucking thing, Taich.

Wind energy has made changes that save the birds. https://windexchange.energy.gov/projects/birds I have seen arguments saying that before the changes, it was way, way overstated. Cats kill zillions more than wind blades.

I am still impressed with the Bleeding Edge medical scientific development of the mRNA vaccine!
And put into production in such quick time during the world's worst Virus pandemic in history.
The medical scientists had no clue as to how long it would stay effective, before it had to be boosted to keep the body fully protected (AND THEY MADE NO GUARANTEES ABOUT THAT), while thousands were dying every day here in the United States alone. Was it rushed? No, because they didn't have the time to learn this before it was approved for use, with such a "Time is of the essence moment" in order to save lives. I mean, what were they supposed to do? Wait for another year's study to know this?
If people do not understand this- It is only because they have underlying malevolent Politically Motivated directives in mind.

Your first sentence is a tired retread of the SOS attitude I previously pointed out, " "We'll there's been no Chernobyl here or radiation poisoning/mutations like a sci-fi movie, so it's all good."
Do a little research regarding New York's Indian Point nuke plant. Seems every time they were caught with some violations or "problems", the NRC just moved the goal post a little. Finally after years of public scrutiny and outcry, they were slated to shut down. You should know that even the NRC studies show that long term plant workers show a higher risk of developing leukemia than other professions. Then there are those plants over the years that "leaked" hundreds of gallons of into local water systems. Now they all swear that the type and amount is harmless, but I have yet to see any company rep drink water from the affected areas pedestrian water supply (shades of Erin Brockovich) on a regular basis.
Let me dumb it down for you, son: you don't buy a car whose make has a history of problems that can possibly cause serious injury. It's like jumping out of a 5 story window just for the experience.....by the second story you can say it's not so bad.
I don't think I know everything, son. I'm just better at critical thinking and analysis than you. Carry on.

Ahh, but then there's this:
NONE OF THE CURRENT VACCINES WOULD PASS THE STANDARD MUSTER PRIOR TO "EMERGENCY USE AUTHORIZATION".
Then there was this little tidbit https://www.heart.org/en/news/2022/0...brain-problems
Balance that against the rash of celebrities, athletes, young & old deaths with no explanation after the major push for vaccinations in this country, and it get's one thinking.
Sorry, add to this world renowned and respected scientist and doctors questioning all of this since the beginning, and one can see my reason for the OP.

Seriously? That's the best retort you can come up with?
Do a little honest research regarding reputable folk who offered alternative steps all the way to handle Covid. Or into countries that DID NOT follow suit as the US did and had SEVERELY LESS DEATHS due to Covid. It would have save a LOT of lives.
