A few days ago, I watched a trailer on HBO a film about Chernobyl became available about the tragedy that happened on 26 April 1986 when Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant that is situated in Kyiv region of Ukraine had a massive explosion. It was emotionally hard to watch the trailer, the same “emotionally hard” as once visiting the Ukrainian National Chornoby Museum in Kyiv.
We shall never forget the heroism and drama of those who tried to limit the consequences of explosion. It is also incredibly sad that this catastrophe was not enough halt construction new nuclear plants. Nuclear energy remains one of the principle sources of electricity in Ukraine and even more generators are under consideration.
While gas and coal are deemed to be unsustainable, obviously we need new sources of energy. Unfortunately, renewable energy sources are not given enough attention. For example, I've never seen a wind plant in Ukraine. The better situation is with solar energy, but still it's not the needed scale.
Do people need to be so shortsighted? Nuclear technology is too dangerous for humans and the global environment.
Even to run nuclear plants, we need rare materials with foreseen shortage. And as far as closing them safely, we have not yet even found a way to dispose of the waste from them.
In the several decades since the atom was split with intention of deriving electrical energy from that fusion, scientists sincerely believed that the risks could be mediated. They have not.
With the lifespan of a plant about 60 years, I consider it is simply unfair to still rely on this technology and making future generations hostages of such decisions as it will be them who will have to deal with all of the waste.
looking forward to seeing that one
thank you for reply and also thank you for your articles. I enjoy reading them )
really appreciate that ✌ :)
Nobody is hostage - and, it is an interim stage as we work ourselves towards fusion (not fission). That has no radioactivity and is very safe, with ample fuels. Great strides forward have been taken, so if you are much younger than me, it is likely you will live to see fusion used (unless the globalists get rid of you, since they do not like people who think for themselves).
thank you for reply and appreciate you being observant so corrected the mistake. Also I turned the last one to the original version if it is more understandable " simply unfair to still rely on this technology and making future generations hostages of such decisions as it will be them who will have to deal with all of waste." You might be interested to read the article "Why nuclear power will never supply the world's energy needs" https://phys.org/news/2011-05-nuclear-power-world-energy.html According to it we will run out of resources for nuclear plants in few decades anyways. Is it safe technology taking into account all the accidents that happened? Debatable. Dunno about globalists, sounded as a threat but as for me there is nothing wrong of thinking global and thinking ahead
First of all, I admitted it is only a temporary solution (with coal and oil) and that (cold) fusion is the long term solution for bulk energy. Once we have it fully working, not only will it safely provide us with energy, but also help us grow out into space.

Globalism has nothing to do with thinking globally
Here is the basic theory of what globalism stands for:

Number 2 is a Greek extreme rightwing party, but ignore their site and just read the article (white background), it gives most of the important info.
If you want more, a simple search will provide you with PDF files and so on - I cannot get them for you as they require registration with google or FB, which I refuse to do...
All you need is to read what he planned -- and then look at what has happened. I think the facts will speak for themselves.
