They claim <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NuclearEnergy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#NuclearEnergy</a> production is also a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GreenSolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#GreenSolution</a> to the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ClimateCrisis</a>. More than 15,000 abandoned <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UraniumMines" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#UraniumMines</a> are located within the so-called US, mostly in and around Indigenous communities, permanently poisoning <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SacredLands" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#SacredLands</a> and waters with little to no action being taken to clean up their deadly toxic legacy. There are currently 93 operating <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NuclearReactors" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#NuclearReactors</a> in the so-called US that supply 20% of the country’s electricity.

In January 2010 the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ObamaAdminstration" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ObamaAdminstration</a> approved a $54 billion taxpayer loan in a guarantee program for new nuclear reactor construction, three times what Bush previously promised in 2005. In April 2022, the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BidenAdministration" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#BidenAdministration</a> government bailout to ‘rescue’ nuclear power plants at risk for closing. A <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Colonial" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Colonial</a> government representative stated, ‘US nuclear power contributes more than half of our <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CarbonFree" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#CarbonFree</a> electricity, and President Biden is committed to keeping these plants active to reach our <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CleanEnergy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#CleanEnergy</a> goals.’ “They, along with Climate Justice activiists, cite nuclear energy as necessary to combat <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GlobalWarming" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#GlobalWarming</a>, all while ignoring the devastating percent impacts <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousPeoples" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#IndigenousPeoples</a> have faced.

DoomsdaysCW<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Japan" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Japan</a> Is Building Underwater <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TidalPower" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#TidalPower</a> Plants on Ocean CurrentsInnovation & Technology / By Bojan Stojkovski / June 15, 2022"Active shipping around the Japanese islands does not allow the Japanese to deploy conventional tidal power plants, and therefore Japanese experts are now developing and testing underwater power plants immersed in water to a depth of more than 50 meters."Successful testing of early prototypes of such power plants leads to Japan’s plans to build extensive networks of 2-MW standard tidal turbines by 2030."The development of the Kairyu Tidal Ocean Power Plant was started by IHI and NEDO scientists in 2011. By 2017, the partners assembled a 100 kW unit in the form of three 20-m floats with two 11-m blades (two 50 kW generators)."The immersion depth of 50 meters was chosen for safety reasons during <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/typhoons" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#typhoons</a>, when you will not surprise anyone with the 20th wave, although the closer to the surface, the more influential the movement of water masses."The most promising place for installing underwater tidal turbines near Japan is the Japan Current (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Kuroshio" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Kuroshio</a>) area off the country’s southern and eastern coasts in the Pacific Ocean. The potential current power is estimated at <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/205GW" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#205GW</a>."IHI and NEDO are planning to build a 2MW tidal power plant with 40 blades for commercial use. A distributed network of such turbines could significantly contribute to providing the islands with electrical energy."According to Japanese experts, this type of network could generate electricity at the price of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/solar" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#solar</a> energy. At the same time, the efficiency of tidal power plants is much higher than that of solar farms."Thus, the installed capacity utilization factor (ICUF) for solar farms is only 15%, while for tidal power plants, it reaches 70% and approaches the ICUU of thermal power plants with 80%."After the accident at the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Fukushima" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Fukushima</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/nuclear" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#nuclear</a> power plant, Japan has problems with developing a peaceful atom. Also, there are no areas for full-fledged solar energy in the country, and the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/winds" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#winds</a> are not as predictable as in Europe. Tidal power plants could be the foundation in Japan around which the government will build <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/carbonfree" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#carbonfree</a> energy."<a href="https://www.renewable.news/innovation-technology/japan-is-building-underwater-tidal-power-plants-on-ocean-currents/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://www.renewable.news/innovation-technology/japan-is-building-underwater-tidal-power-plants-on-ocean-currents/</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TidalEnergy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#TidalEnergy</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RenewablesNow" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#RenewablesNow</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RethinkNotRestart" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#RethinkNotRestart</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoNukes" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#NoNukes</a>

DoomsdaysCW@GW@newsie.social ""So <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/nuclear" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#nuclear</a> power is “the cheapest, safest, greenest” form of energy ever invented. It is “<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/carbonfree" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#carbonfree</a>.” No one ever died because of a nuclear accident. Irrational fear-mongering by the anti-nuclear movement killed off nuclear power growth in the United States. Renewables are a pipe-dream of the crunchy granola set and about as boring and superfluous. And so on and so on."There used to be fact-checkers at media organizations. Not any more. Because all this twaddle appears in print and on the air, unchecked and unchallenged. Not only that, media outlets are no longer impartial and are, in fact, deliberately fanning the flames of deceit. Thus, Bloomberg could trumpet an article about the Vogtle 3 and 4 reactors in Georgia with this headline: Nuclear Power Makes Comeback with Massive Carbon-Free Vogtle Plant in Georgia."<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NoNukes" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#NoNukes</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Nuclear" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Nuclear</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RenewablesNow" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#RenewablesNow</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NuclearNotCarbonFree" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#NuclearNotCarbonFree</a>
