OK this is the geology guy I subscribe to. People were forwarding all kinds of Tsunami warnings and I said Russia and Japan might get one but we won't. It's on the other side of the ocean. My understanding of Tsunamis is that they occur after an earthquake in the ocean. As the moving water approaches shore, the water moves forward but the sea bottom gets shallower driving the wave up in height.
I saw some videos being shared of an earthquake shaking homes in Russia. I'm like OK is this the same earthquake or a previous one because we were told this one happened in the ocean and earthquakes that happen on land don't create tsunamis. The west coast of Vancouver Island could quite possibly face a tsunami because it is completely exposed.
Vancouver is not exposed. If a tsunami hit Vancouver, Vancouver Island would take the brunt of that energy. Vancouver could get a swell like Fukushima around Vancouver Island but not a giant wave like Indonesia got. The Indonesia tsunami was terrifying. Fukushima wasn't.
Fukushima was very deceptive. It wasn't a huge wave it was a swell. It didn't look that bad. When people saw it they stated walking away and people filming it were shouting run! It wasn't a huge wave but it had a lot of energy and did a lot of damage.
Which once again shows nuclear energy is not green and is not safe. They are still releasing radioactive water into the ocean from that previous accident. All that radiation takes thousands of years to decompose. Releasing it into the ocean effects everything. "Treated" water. It's not sewage it's radiation.
Vancouver could get a mayor earthquake that would reduce it to ruble. Richmond would sink because it's a delta built on sand. Surrey would burn like Maui with the water mains being cut off. So we do have things to worry about and prepare for.
Thorium is what is needed to make nuclear power plants safe.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately the old boys club of nuclear energy will never allow it to happen.
Nuclear power is not clean or safe. That's why the UN, WEF and Bill Gates are pushing it. Order amidst the chaos.
DeleteYou might want to look into thorium before making such a statement.
DeleteActually I simply disagree for just cause. That is my right.
DeleteAs I understand it, one of the biggest problems with nuclear power has always been the designs using water for cooling, and building them on a large supply of water, lakes, rivers the oceans, etc.. That said, anything Bill Gates and the WEF is in favor of, we should not be.
ReplyDeleteBuilding them near lakes isn't the only problem. As you say, using water for cooling contaminates the water with radiation. The half life of that radioactive water is insane. Nuclear waste is virtually impossible to treat or dispose of safely. Unless you put it on a rocket and aim that rocket at the sun.
DeleteDennis, for a lark, search Youtube for Galen Winsor and watch/listen to a couple of his presentations. Maybe we have been misled about the dangers?
ReplyDeleteSorry, another whack job with an agenda. If Bill Gates, the WEF and the UN unanimously endorse it, you know there's something wrong with it. We used to be concerned with nuclear disarmament. Nuclear power gives countries the technology and the materials to make nuclear weapons. That is not safe.
DeleteI'm from Vancouver. Hydroelectric power is safe and green. That is why the WEF attacks hydro electric power just like they attack natural gas which is clean burning. The WEF doesn't care about clean energy. They only care about conning people to accept their dark and devious agenda.
