minus-squareRobust Mirror@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·10 hours ago Solar panels: Direct sky-spiciness to electricity conversion Wind: Sky-spiciness made the air move Hydroelectric: Sky-spiciness lifted the water up, gravity brings it down Fossil fuels: Really old stored sky-spiciness from ancient plants
minus-squarekillingspark@feddit.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·5 hours agoNuclear: the sky spiciness got too spicy and turned into spicy rocks
minus-squareRobust Mirror@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·3 hours agoGeothermal: Incredibly old sky-spiciness from far, far away that Earth collected to slowly release.
minus-squareBlackmist@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up24·14 hours agoFun fact. Coal plants release more radioactive materials than nuclear plants.] Except the ones that blew up. Those ones were extra spicy.
minus-squarechaogomu@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up13·11 hours agoExcept, even then, an average coal plant will release more radioactive material over its lifetime than Fukushima did. It’s just Chernobyl that you have to top. And even then there are coal plants that come close. Now, it’s not apples to apples. Coal plants release uranium and thorium. Not ceasium and strontium. But yeah, never go swimming in a coal plant ash pit. For more than the obvious reasons.
minus-squareanomnom@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·10 hours agoHow many average coal plants per Chernobyl though. I suspect that number is surprising lower than the total number of coal plants.
minus-squarejagungal@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·14 hours agoI mean, radioactive isotopes are formed in supernovae, so it’s really just solar power from a different sun, right?
