A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

My claim is that fuel can be done right (read "clean", more on that later), just how nuclear power can be done right. Will it be done right? Probably not.
Also, clean does not mean no pollution, at least not in our world. Solar cells pollute, windmills pollute. Green energy in general pollutes quite a lot when compared to "no pollution at all".
No pollution seems unrealistic with current technologies and politics, so best we can do is attempt and limit our pollution to technologies which pollute less, or at least have the possibility of polluting less.
Also, how did natural gas become a clean, green source of energy? (that's a rethoric question, I know why, i just think it's stupid.)
