Stop fracking

If you're worried about birds, you should be arguing against wind power which kills tens of thousands of them.

If you're ruling out gas from fracking and nuclear power, the only alternative is to import vast amounts of energy which really isn't a great idea for the long term for numerous reasons. Renewables will only ever provide a small percentage of the overall requirement.
Might be best to build the wind farms and kill the bastards if they're contaminated with Radiation. That and they're noisy disease ridden shit machines. More Wind Farms!
 
Why do you think the presence of seagulls is dangerous?

Read my last post, and the link within.

What's more, it's just indicative of the shambles the industry is. The oversight is shocking and "health and safety" is all too often a complete afterthought, as has been proven over several decades in countless countries across the industrial first world.

If those pictures don't blown your mind then I'm afraid you have a very rudimentary understanding of this topic.
 
I'm not worried about birds, couldn't give a flying fuck about birds. You misunderstand.

I'm worried about them swimming in a highly radioactive fucking spent fuel, that's crumbling at the seams full to the brim with decades old fuel rods that have literally eroded into sludge, becoming heavily contaminated with radioisotopes, and then redistributing such contamination wherever they then choose to fuck off to.

That could be outside the local chippy, or in your back garden.

Sorry can't get worked up about where a few radioactive seagulls might go.
There are alternatives to NP, they just don't have the financial backing or vested interests of people with influence behind them like that industry has.
Why don't you name a few.
 
I'm sure mate! Any interesting tales you'd be happy to share?

We're already spending tens of billions attempting to decommission and decontaminate (as much is possible) existing NPPs and beaches they've contaminated on the British Isles.

One of the most disturbing things I've seen in recent years was the leaked pictures of the open air spent fuel pool at Sellafield, seagulls and birds literally bathing in it:

Those birds will be in people's gardens, dining away at your bird table in leafy Cumbria.

The industry is utterly reprehensible as far as I'm concerned, corrupt to the core and they couldn't give a flying fuck about the environment or the health and safety of the public.
That's ponds east, by the look of it, worked on it a lot, not going to post anything on here mate, they can get funny about such things :-)

I do not profess to be an expert on these matters, but I'd say people with a very rudimentary understand are the people most likely to find that image shocking. The water is clearly there to act as some sort of barrier, which the article suggests, but what scientific explanation can you use to back up your suggestion that those birds are exposed to radiation that is liable to be spread as a result? The nuclear industry is subject to stringent regulation, and I would expect if there was a risk, those ponds would be covered.

The article above relates to pigeons. I have never seen a pigeon (other than a dead one) floating in water.
