Nuclear Power Is FINE

I'd rather prefer nuclear power as dying in the climate catastrophe isn't among my life goals.

6:31 Gahh, a speling misstake! Haevnt eveb noticrd!

[CarlosAM]

7:13 you should have probably mentioned the Onagawa power plant, which actually had a good seawall, was closer to the epicenter and took both the earthquake and tsunami without any sort of meltdown and then literally served as a refuge for the tsunami victims

I love that this community will openly criticize it's creator when he gets something wrong(masterworks sponsor). it's good to have a community that doesn't take the content creator's word for everything.

[johncarpo]

Can't help but feel Masterworks sponsorship will blow up in the face of lots of creators who are continuously shilling it

[vladislavpeshkov]

Not gonna lie, the sponsorship feels like a scam.

Adam, you forgot to mention one other thing. People get caught up on Nuclear leaving behind a bunch of "forever" pollution but fail to realize that Coal plants leave behind tons of carcinogenic compounds such as arsenic, lead, mercury and a ton of other heavy metals and gases that stay in the environment for damn near forever. The ironic part is that coal ash left behind as waste is also radioactive, but they just leave it in piles to be blown away by the wind and rained on.

[karayour]

That masterworks sponsorship sounds about as legit as established titles claims of "buying land"

[neroe]

As a Frenchman this warms my heart but mostly because it's 70% radioactive.

[swaystar]

I find it kinda funny that out of all the people and out of all the sponsers, Adam has Masterworks

[moodynoob]

While I understand the need for sponsorship money, I seriously hope you reconsider sponsorships from unproven financial assets like fractional art shares (Masterworks).

There are several points of concern with them, such as how the performance data of illiquid markets is very prone to selection bias, their high fees (which is understandable due to transport, storage and insurance cost of art) and the fact there is very little data on how specifically Masterworks has performed - especially since we're transitioning out of a low interest rate environment.

Please don't risk trashing your reputation and be more responsible in selecting sponsors to shill.

Man, I LOVE when the sponsor is around a third of the video and is integrated in a way that completely derails it.

Masterworks is starting to give me very strong Ponzi sheme vibes.

Due to insufficient cooling, heating inside the reactor provoked a thermolysis of water producing hydrogen. H2 buildup at some point met the condition for explosion. French nuclear specialists advised Japanese authorities and Tepco long ago to install cheap hydrogen recombinator using a simple Sabatier process to nullify any explosion possibility. They refused.

As an addendum, the German Energiewende wasn't just hindered by regular old bureaucracy, it was outright sabotaged by conservative state and federal governments. Regulations on where windmills could be placed were made so insanely restrictive that in certain states only a few acres even still qualified. E.g. Bavaria ended up building just 6 windmills in the entire year of 2022. We also used to have a healthy and rapidly growing solar sector as well that essentially had its throat cut around 2012 in favour of shoveling more subsidies into the coal sector.

[GiubileiFernando]

I was astounded at the two minute sponsorship in a 9 minute video.

[rcytray]

I get that the money is good, but the Masterworks sponsorship is definitely blowing up in creators' faces eventually

[richardbagg]

Masterworks? Kinda seems at odds with the general vibe I get rom this channel.

... or unless you disturb the Caesium contaminated ground cover, by digging foxholes/trenches or other excavations.

[Samantha-vypt]

Hmmm yes I think I will now invest my life savings in the illiquid art market with %25 transactional costs, as I see no issues, none. Thanks for the tip, Adam!

I'm pretty sure the Chernobyl mushroom picture was taken to illustrate how fungi bioaccumulate heavy metals, including radioactive isotopes, making them dangerous to eat.
