Yeah, you obviously don't understand, that is exactly what matters. Islam is overwhelming responsible for the majority of hateful, mistreatment, oppression and senseless murder of women, girls, LGBTQ folks and atheists for imaginary crimes.

There are still more than a dozen Muslim countries where the punishment for simply being gay or an atheist is DEATH.

I mean seriously, and banning rainbows? That is some pretty ignorant, backwards, bronze age, garbage. This absolutely would not happen "anywhere else in the world".

The lies of religious superstition are the literal worst.

So many bad dog owners here downvoting "don't use the sidewalk as a toilet" and "don't own a dog if you live somewhere that isn't an appropriate place for a dog to live"? Seriously?

Ugh, bad dog owners are the worst, so much entitlement and selfish, thoughtless, behavior.

How about I rent out a room in my apartment and tell my tenants that there is no toilet available and that they can go pee all over the ground at your front door and poop on your stoop a couple times a day?

Wow, people actually downvoting "don't treat the sidewalk like a toilet"?

Why are so many dog owners so selfish and inconsiderate? This behavior is disgusting, it spreads pathogens and harmful bacteria that closes beaches, causes stomach illnesses and rashes in humans, as well as spreading diseases that make other dogs sick.

It should be illegal for people to treat sidewalks, parks that are not specifically designed for dogs and other people's private lawns as a toilet.

If you bring a dog into the city and live in an apartment and your plan is to use the public sidewalk or these other places as a place for your pet to defecate and urinate, you are an, inconsiderate, thoughtless person. It's not healthy for the dog, other dogs and other people to have to walk through that and pet waste is a gigantic problem in storm water runoff.

False, not in Vermont and no, it wouldn't, it's way to slow to build, way too expensive, way too difficult to site and poses numerous, very serious safety hazards. There is simply no need to manufacture any more super dangerous radioactive waste. We already have enough of that awful garbage for the future taxpayers to manage for the next 200,000 years.

Solar is the least expensive way to make electricity and is showing explosive growth and will have no problem helping to make our countries renewable energy goals a reality.

One of the bottom drawers in you refrigerator works pretty good, or a large plastic bag or tupperware in a chest freezer.

>We still need baseload power

This is also false, first, we already have "baseload power" from Hydro-Quebec, what we need are sources that can be easily taken on and off line, which nuclear is terrible at. It is actually a liability in our future grid.

Also, everywhere else, "baseload" power stations are not going to be a part of our electric grid going forward, renewables and batteries are what is actually being built now, we have this technology today, which is much cheaper, safer, greener and easier to build than super expensive, dangerous, unpopular nuclear fission plants.

Edit: spelling

>The status quo is completely unsustainable and nuclear is a crucial part of a balanced energy strategy

That is absolutely false, we do not need nuclear fission at all, not to mention the fact that even if you were somehow able to find a site for a new plant, which is very doubtful, it would be a decade just getting the planning done, and like another decade before it was actually built, and most likely billion over budget. Financially, nuclear fission just can't compete, even with the massive subsidies and the Price-Anderson act.

Also, nobody wants a pile of radioactive waste in their back yard.

WE have much better options now, which are much easier, and much much faster to build, which don't come with all of the awful liabilities of nuclear fission, or the permanent radioactive waste problem. In fact, they don't consume any expensive fuel whatsoever and they actually make money instead of wasting it.

The green revolution is here and this failed technology is dead, thankfully.

They had better dig up all of that soil that they contaminated with Strontium-90, Cobalt-60, Ceasium-137, and a massive plume of tritium, just to name a few. Or will they just lie about having underground pipes that leak radioactive waste again and pretend it's not there?

And there still is no responsible way to deal with all those casks full of super dangerous used radioactive fuel, so it will just sit there, a few feet above the flood plain, just waiting for a big ice jam or flood. Now the taxpayers get to manage that waste for the next 200,000 years.

That awful poison factory should have never been built, I am happy that it is gone. Nuclear fission is a failed technology and that place was grossly mismanaged, because the supposed "regulator" is captured and populated with people from the very industry that it is supposed to be regulating.

They drove this plant into the ground until a huge section of the cooling tower collapsed from neglect and the groundwater around the plant was polluted with fission products that never should have been found outside of containment, then they lied about it, yet were somehow allowed to investigate themselves and "remediate" their own environmental crime, with pretty much zero consequences. The industry is so corrupt.

They stored radioactive waste in kiddie pools, lost track of fuel, tried to gaslight people about the radioactive pollution found in the Connecticut river and tried to soup up that dangerous, embrittled antique instead of doing the responsible thing and shut it down when it should have been decommissioned.

Good riddance, I am happy that these foolish, dangerous, filthy, super expensive power plants are on their way out, because the private sector cannot be trusted to run them safely. Time and again, all over the globe, the industry chooses short term profit over safety.

Thankfully we have much better options now that are actually green, renewable, safe and affordable. It just doesn't make financial sense to build any more of them. Nuclear fission was never a good deal for anyone but the few companies that extracted the short term profit, while leaving future taxpayers to deal with the enormous mess.

A few days worth of expensive electricity for many thousands of years of radioactive waste management, what a deal!

Yes, it is totally normal for a dealership to charge you for every inspection, pass or fail. If you fail and get the work done at the same shop that failed you, they usually will waive the second fee because they do not have to do a full inspection again, but if you take the vehicle somewhere else to get the work done, then legally, they have to perform a full inspection all over again and you will most likely get charged for that service.
