Does this still create waste that is dangerous for thousands of years?
My understanding is that there is no long term solution for storing dangerous nuclear waste. They try burying it super deep in mountains. But can't be sure that it won't get out in the next few thousands of years.
Everybody watch the documentary "Into Eternity" on the subject. Amazing.
Nuclear waste is somewhat dangerous, but deep inside mountains it won't do any harm barring some kind of black swan event.
Compare the risks of living near a nuclear waste storage facility and living downstream of a hydroelectric dam. I know what I would choose! If you demand absolute certainty over a thousand year period you'll be paralyzed into inaction. Any new technology and any political action could result in the eventual collapse of civilization. But inaction guarantees disaster because the status quo is unsustainable. So we have to make mundane risk/reward evaluations and from those we conclude that we can't do without nuclear energy.
hoping this becomes a sustainable open source project... go Logseq!
For power users...
I was specifically looking the feature 'named properties' aka 'key-value pairs'. Which AFAIK is unique to logseq, absent from the other outliners (Roam, Obsidian, Athens...)

I'd love to know what cost they have put for 100k of storage of nuclear waste. Talk about intergenerational debt.
Surely once storage costs are factored into nuclear energy, renewables are much much more cost effective, without all the risks of nuclear waste spilling out at some point in the next 100k years?!?!
It's not a cost issue, it's an "intermittent and non storable" issue.
We don't need theories just look at Germany right now... Their last two nuclear reactors (max output 4GW) often produce more than their entire sun+wind system (max output 122GW)
I used to work at the company which made this popular free app. You code simple drawings. It had a great response with children and non programmer adults https://art.kano.me/
Are there any pledges one could try and get companies to sign up to? Like there is a the 'fair tax mark' in the UK. Is there a similar? e.g. % of profit or revenue donated to open source mark
bad website, but these anti-GMO scientists / academics have compiled a meta review of scientific literature (free pdf and book to buy):
