  • I totally agree with everything you said :)

    I just created an account in PieFed and it looks very interesting because there is the option to create your own feeds! I had the wrong impression that you can only choose from the existing ones. This is so exciting!!!

  • I have the impression that the term anthroposcene used in this article could easily be replaced by another: capitaloscene. To my understanding, they are not interchangeable, but I think the latter would be more appropriate in this context.

    For me, it feels like the anthroposcene is shifting the blame from a system that is devastating to all lives on this planet (capitalism), to humans in general. I don't find this to be accurate, it's like it implies 'yeah it's human nature to be like that', and it's hard to imagine change from this starting point.

    On the other hand, with capitaloscene, things are clear. The system sucks, we replace it with a sustainable one, and all will be fine. Not saying that it's an easy path, just a straightforward one.

  • From UK Parliament Committees:

    Sellafield’s race against time: nuclear waste clean-up not going quickly enough, PAC warns

    Report highlights latest picture on delays and cost rises in c.£136bn 100-year nuclear decommissioning project.

    The PAC’s report finds that Sellafield Ltd has missed most of its annual targets for retrieving waste from several buildings on the site, [...] Sellafield Ltd’s underperformance will likely remain extremely hazardous for longer.

    Sir Geoffrey Clifton-Brown MP, Chair of the Committee, said: “The intolerable risks presented by Sellafield’s ageing infrastructure are truly world-class. When visiting the site, it is impossible not to be struck by the fact that one can be standing in what is surely one of the most hazardous places in the world. This is why we expect Sellafield’s management of its assets, and the delivery of the project to decommission it, to be similarly world-class. Unfortunately, our latest report is interleaved with a number of examples of failure, cost overruns, and continuing safety concerns. Given the tens of billions at stake and the dangers onsite to both the environment and human life, this is simply not good enough.

    Edit: Since in the report they say the witnesses told us that the radioactive particles are “contained” in the soil and do not pose a risk to the public I thought it would be appropriate to say that at least they used brackets. The degradation of soil and groundwater needs to be taken into consideration as well. And let's not forget the impacts on local biodiversity.

  • Nuclear is considered 'clean' in terms of greenhouse gas emissions. Radioactive waste is not clean in other terms and their disposal is highly problematic. It replaces one problem with another.. France is a great example of this problem because they are very advanced in nuclear energy. They struggle with this and smuggle their nuclear waste to other places in the world.

    As for the 'safe' part, this is also debatable.

    Why we should protect the high seas from all extraction, forever

  • I believe there is no reason to compare. Different kind of 'teribility', let's say.

    It leaches enough radioactive water into the ground to fill an Olympic sized swimming pool every three years. There is no way to stop the leak until the silo can be emptied, which takes decades.

    Sellafield was formerly known as Windscale. In 1957 it was the site of Britain’s worst nuclear disaster.

  • Fair enough! Now that I think about it, maybe I should have specified that this is an online approach. It includes finding them, reading them and having a dictionary for translating them. Then, at some point, you learn them by heart. Also, I don't think that just doing this is enough, but it somehow speeds up the initial process, especially for speaking.
