Who said I am against Nuclear Power? I'm not.
I'm not against pipelines either.
I'm not against anything when that thing is done right.
I'm against shitty pipelines that fail.
I'm against building a nuclear power plant on a coastal city that is prone to earthquakes, then putting a 5m retaining wall against tsunamis, but building the station so that the control electronics are placed in the basement (hint - Fukushima).
I'm against running a nuclear power plant that has not had it's backup safety system fully and properly tested BEFORE running that station at full power for years, but then running the safety tests on it many years later while it is live on the national power grid, but being VERY disorganized about running the tests and MASSIVELY fucking up (hint - Chernobyl). (also, refer to Nassim Taleb's theories on convexity or what he coined 'Antifragility').
I'm often told things like "the real world doesn't work like that", so perhaps I'm a dreamer or an idealist.
Who knew a >5m tsunami would hit Fukushima and flood the room that held all of the electrical/electronics systems controlling the plant? Black swan!
Who knew a shift change at midnight would not get the directions that a critical safety test was being performed to test the backup diesel generators response gap time and that the main turbines needed to be running at full rated RPM in order to run the cooling pumps for a mere 45 seconds? The shift change at Chernobyl sure didn't know. Black swan.
BP Gulf of Mexico. Was that a mistake, or was that poor leadership overfocused on profits? Black swan?
Pipes break, plants fail, mistakes happen.
Read some of the books written by this guy - he's the kind of smart that the world needs to properly move forward...
