The sea doesn’t bill by the hour.

Plants need direct light to grow… most need full sun.

That’s only true, if the solar panels are not properly adjusted to this use case.
The solution for that is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agrivoltaics#Spectrally_selective_modules

I wonder how they know each other.
Does anyone have a clue?

In some other countries they’re not even prosecuted but being made president instead.

Another 7 years?
Wouldn’t have thought he’d live that long 🤷‍♂️

Apparently lobbying is running deep in Germany…
We’ll get to a cleaner world - hopefully, eventually.

The amount of highly dangerous waste (e.g. fuel rods) may be small, but, well, it’s highly dangerous and not only because of the immediate danger from radiation, but because it can be weaponized.

I agree and understand that converting mass to energy makes absurd amounts of energy available.

Aren’t especially the fuel rods more dangerous than the uranium, that has been dug from the earth, because it’s a mix of radionuclides with in parts complex decay chains?
Doesn’t almost all uranium that has been dug up (according to wikipedia 99.3%) have a half-life of 4.463×109 years (before being used as fuel rod)?
Which made the level of radiation smaller than for radionuclides with shorter half-life that are in the used fuel rods, right?

The propaganda from fossil against the dangers of radiation doesn’t work well as long as especially coal plants emit vast amounts of dangerous radionuclides through their chimneys.

To be fair I could stomach continuing to use nuclear plants for some more time until the transformation to way more renawables and storage for electric energy has come a longer way.
After all it’s no big difference, if you add some more nuclear waste to the already quite big pile.
I’d be adamant if we were talking about starting the first nuclear reactor ever, though.
Building new nuclear reactors now seems like the wrong way given how dirt-cheap solar has become.

In that case this sadly applies:
with enormous amounts of power comes an enormous amount of waste…
…which sadly needs to be kept safe for several hundreds of thousands of years.
But hey, that is a problem of future generations, am I right?

It’s easier than trying to get the money from the esteemed billionaire class.

One can dream, but the full suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement would at least put some economical and political pressure on Israel.
I’m optimistic that the missing signatures can be gathered and the thresholds per country can be reached.

edit: I just realized that not all, but only 7 countries need to reach their threshold.
This has already been done.
Less than 118.000 signatures are missing. This initiative will succeed.

How much is that in football fields?

Did you find it in the PDF aisle?

Well, in the sense of this comic it’d be about hoping for a date and receiving a fig instead; the difference is what’d make it funny just like hoping for a jacket and receiving trousers is.

To stay in the line of the comic, she’d have received a fig then.

I should’ve read more slowly.
Could’ve saved me from reading “Rapist Church”…
