Because when the original thing didn't work as intended (with which we were pretty sure, otherwise we'd never done it cause of the risks) then the kill switch will work 100% as intended for sure, and also have no unexpected side e

Yeahyeah, freedom over all, and everything natural is also good, right ? :D Please also reflect on the rhetorics you bring up here :D This is black and white painting, there are a lot of levels between..

Short term - long term we realize now it is eroding and "destryoing" it - like tech debt it is creating soil debt :)

We must be looking at very different numbers - or what do you mean with regulation, requiring some safety standards? Nowhere nuclear got economic, required massive subsidies - and in the end has been driven by the need for the precious bypr

Not understanding what you are both getting at ... the situation has maybe changed now. But before, here at least, it was repeatedly underestimating the in the aftermath clearly visible exponential growth, exactly as the r factor is calcula

And that thinking is insane to me, long-term best is to have renewables and not pollute - nuclear is no alternative but just another bad with too many problems, bad economics, and waste produced.

Now we bring another very specific for that location argument, while the general new consensus for here seems to be that is the ultimate solution to the climate crisis? The rhetoric strawman is also pretty cheap...

Yes, and they as enough still others believe that you don't solve one huge problem by going back to another huge problem.

Just dig out the numbers and realize this project is as expensive and uneconomic as every other of our +50year history record before.. And as if this was the only problem and it hadn't a lot of huge others, nuclear proponents will use

True .. and also you can bet that most obese people, if it would be a simple as taking a shot to get rid of that, most would likely do it at some point (similar for smokers). Also haven't heard of just infecting others with obesity..

Which lockdowns in our hemisphere had the goal of stopping the virus? All I know about (or have been part of) never stated that goal, only goal was to break waves and avoid overload of health care systems, which most at least helped with. A

Most people already early convinced themselves by pure logic that masks should have an impact, still today you see this opposed here&there. Looks like a well carried out study and another data point, many influencing factors considered,

Doesn't need to be 100% - has been well modelled 85% would be enough. Also the pressure on the health care system would be much lower then - alternatively, if everyone who is unvaccinated would just sign off that he doesn't want h
