Unplug Nuclear Power

Remember this date!!

@ChrisMartzWX So wrong. Here in Ohio, where our grid is mainly coal and nukes, we are regularly asked to turn off our AC during peak summer usage. In TX, where they now have tons of rooftop solar, they actually have SURPLUS electricity during high heat days. You’re spreading disinformation.

I’m not sure who made this, but this is gold.

@cafreiman The many billions of dollars the CPUC has already dumped on ratepayers to keep Diablo open would be MUCH better spent supporting more wind, solar, and storage. The CPUC has shown it’s willing to give PG&E any rate increase it wants for Diablo. This is corription as energy policy.

@gettingfake @DiabloCanyonCA What all you nukesters have to do is explain to me how you can routinely put radiation into the environment, which ALL nuke plants (including Diablo!) do, WITHOUT causing more cancer.

@Unplugnukes @DiabloCanyonCA You are liars and I hope you all suffer for it

Diablo Canyon’s two reactors generate ~2,250 megawatts of reliable, ⁠clean electricity, enough for 4 million people.⁠

@lfppersonal @DiabloCanyonCA No Nukes! No Carbon! No Kidding! Wind, solar and storage are all we need.

@Unplugnukes @DiabloCanyonCA Not to mention, again, but fossil fuels are a thousand times worse! Your choice is between nuclear and fossil fuels, and your dumbass is choosing fossil fuels!

@Unplugnukes @DiabloCanyonCA Citation needed, because this just isn't true.

@Unplugnukes @DiabloCanyonCA ... There aren't hundreds of thousands of workers in the nuclear power sector. It gets most of the data from ionizing radiation in healthcare, stuff like X rays. Nuclear plant workers tend to have better radiation mitigation anyway, due to pretty strict regulations

@lfppersonal @DiabloCanyonCA You are ignorant. Nukes routinely release radiation into the environment. The majority leak radioactive tritium every day.

@Unplugnukes @DiabloCanyonCA "low doses" don't endanger people nearby because (shocker) ionizing radiation has a really hard time making it through the fuck tons of shielding a reactor has!

@MikeysTimeout @DiabloCanyonCA No, you are if you think radiation is harmless. Do you?

@Unplugnukes @DiabloCanyonCA Holy fuck you are stupid.

@lfppersonal @DiabloCanyonCA This was a study that used measured doses from hundreds of thousands of nuke plant workers from the US, UK, and France. Low doses killed them. The same low doses that people who live near nuke plants get year after year.

@lfppersonal @DiabloCanyonCA It’s absolutely true. The most comprehensive study ever, INWORKS, used actual measured doses, not estimates like your crap studies. It shows very low radiation doses cause high cancer rates. Ask yourself, how can you irradiate people W/O causing cancer? bmj.com/content/382/bm…

We just passed the Three Mile Island anniversary, and we’re always struck by the way nukesters both crow, “The concrete containment dome stopped most of the radiation from the TMI meltdown,” AND “We don’t need concrete containment domes!”

Coal power plants emit more radiation than nuclear ones, these dim wits don't care about the environment, they hate you.

That plant should be scrammed and put into cold shutdown ASAP!

Only an agency dedicated to promoting nuclear no matter what could call a nuke plant that’s being bombed almost daily “normal.”

@GovCox Sacrificing the children of Utah to fuel your political ambitions. Shame. #Fig1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">nature.com/articles/s4146…

Utah is making a serious play for the future of American energy. Economic strength, national security, and energy abundance. Built here. Read more: ksl.com/article/514740…

FINALLY!!! Solar passes nuclear in supplying the world’s energy. This potential has always been there. If we hadn’t wasted decades and trillions on nukes, we would already be 100% clean energy. dw.com/en/solar-is-wi…

@AaloAtomics Radiation is death. bmj.com/content/382/bm…

Energy is life 🌄⚛️

This requires burning ~350,000 lbs of coal every day, putting millions of pounds of CO2 into the air. Carbon free nukes are a myth.

24/7/365 nukes are a myth.

The shutdowns mount. 16% of the US nuclear fleet is now at 0% power. Most are for scheduled maintainence (although they often go beyond schedules), but some, like Palo Verde 2 are shut down because of leaks or accidents. nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc…
