Always loved this logo because it looks like a sick poster for a left wing party in the 1910's or so. SWP, is that the Socialist Worker's Party? Nah, Sherman Williams Paints.

Is it really that surprising there's plastic on that island? Each ocean has a gyre where plastic accumulates, it makes sense that there'd be loads on an island in the middle of nowhere.

Nah the plastic is now getting so into poo poo that it's actually being used to like melt down and get geologically involved into the actual rock structure. The planet is becoming plastic lmao

"the plastic age" not being a descriptor of what our tools are made of but rather the geological era after us shouldnt be surprising but still is

I’m pro nuclear power over all but I’m not sure I trust america to safely deploy tons of tiny reactors everywhere the nuclear waste issue is interesting to me though, as “traditional” power generation like coal also produces radioactive waste afaik. coal ash is nasty poo poo we just store in open pits lmao

mags posted:I’m pro nuclear power over all but I’m not sure I trust america to safely deploy tons of tiny reactors everywhere yea, i got the WIP in my back yard, and the mechanism for maintenance is so weird it’s split between the state’s environment department and homeland security considering all the other toxic sites under maintenance, like the lakes of acid we need for modern mining, classifying radioactive material and treating it special because it’s so insidiously cancerous is why that news about fracking fluid running so hot was so startling years back

lol Bill Gates just cancelled NuScale’s SMRs that were already NRC licensed, given free environmental-review-passing land on the National Lab in Idaho, and a billion dollars from DOE, because they couldn’t get any power companies interested. Turns out “how about a power source that’s more expensive, but you can shut it down easier to make less money” isn’t workable under our current economic system.

You could probably dump whatever you wanted into a subduction zone including radioactive waste and it would disappear forever with zero repercussions. The planet will just recycle it through the magma

Dokapon Findom posted:Yeah why haven't we just been dumping all our garbage into volcanoes, seems like a simple solution to basically every problem Magma is really dense, since it's just rock that's really hot. The garbage just sits on top burning and fuming. There's also only a handful of places on earth where there's exposed liquid magma regularly, and usually they're far away from population centers and up a mountain.
