Im not a nuclear bro, but a vast majority of the planet’s Uranium is mined in Australia and Canada and both countries have pretty massive reserves. They have strict regulations and safety surrounding uranium operations. Naturally occurring uranium doesnt even pose much safety risk on its own, its the Radon that is generated by decay that causes problems for humans. Im not too familiar with how uranium mining is done but I imagine Radon risks can be mitigated pretty effectively with ventilation.

What is the limit of a “community”? I live in a city where it is certainly not practical to grow the food needed to feed the city inside thr city limits. On thr other hand, in my province there is tons of high quality land that would be more than sufficient to grow enough food for the whole province, especially if the food system shifted to a vegetarian-focused one. Thats a lot bigger than my “community” but it is a lot more practical and arguably more sustainable.

I personally like scihub because it’s easier to get papers off of rather than going through ny library’s portal for a lot of journals.

I haven’t been able to find any info on that either than that Anna’s Archive mirrors sci-hub and that sci-hub has not been updated since 2021 so Anna’s Archive has a more up to date database.

I have found Anna’s Archive to be more reliable than sci-hub
- Comment on What Refutes Science... 1 year ago:
How often does this actually happen? The cases where this does occur stand out because they are rare. I really hate the implication that scientists are not trustworthy because some individuals acted in bad faith. Scientific fraud is real but it doesn’t mean you can’t trust science.
