Johnny Harris and Big If True have a great video discussing fear and actual nuclear impacts. The only factor it lacks mentioning is how much land fossil fuels takes up. Each year, fossil fuels infrastructure distroys more land than Chernobyl and fukushima combined.
Agreed, except Johnny Harris routinely has no idea what he is talking about and does a horrible job at explaining factual content. He does tell an incredible story, however.
nuclear is a fossil fuel
Lol, that's a first for me. Uranium is an element likely formed during a supernova event 6 billion years ago. It is absolutely not a fossil fuel
yup, mixed up fossil and non-renewable
thats why it was deleted less than 5 minutes after posting it, and a solid hour before you responded to it
No it's not. It's generated from exploding stars not decomposing dinosaurs.
