Possibly one of the stupidest articles I’ve read in a while.
Start here: “The film, however, depicts the tremendous dangers when something goes wrong.” Yeah, because HBO films are based on science and not pushing a political agenda. /sarcasm
Modern nuclear reactors are nothing like Chernobyl. That kind of accident simply cannot happen anymore.
Also, you’d have to cover an area over 300 km by 300 km, or 90,000 square km, with solar panels to provide enough power to replace every other power source. And that’s ignoring transmission losses, some areas not getting full sunlight, little things like night, etc. The actual area needed is probably closer to 250,000 square km. Doing so would in itself consume a massive amount of power and other resources. Solar panels don’t magically appear.
And that’s just for starters.
PS Yup, this guy clearly isn’t a real scientist.
I suppose they could simply have said they watched the movie “The China Syndrome” and made the same finding. For the folks that “TRULY” care, I suggest they divest themselves of any and all items that were produced or contain anything related in anyway to petroleum products. EVERYTHNG! Double dog dare them. Or they could be dropped naked and afraid in the middle of the Amazon. No, not THAT ‘amazon’, the other one.
