I was with you until you mixed nuclear into the post. Chernobyl was a series of human errors and bad decisions. We need nuclear to fix our energy issues and slapping the name onto a separate issue is dishonest and makes me doubt your intentions.

Thanks, it means cheaper cars for the rest of us.

Me too!

We should start by subsidizing plant based materials instead of oil based. We're literary paying extra to make more plastic.

That's beside my point. They talk about the difference between photosynthesis efficacy with and without MPs, but don't explain how the MPs affect the process.

Yeah but that means what exactly? Plastic deposits on the surface of the plant? Water contamination? Something else?

What's the mechanism for photosynthesis reduction? It's not explained in the PNAS article nor the abstract of the original paper, which is a meta-analysis.

To quote Monty Python: American beer is like making love in a canoo - it's fucking close to water.

Right! This calls for immediate discussion! /s

One of the inner engines had a visible outgassing pointing to structural failure in the engine itself. This was followed briefly by an engine explosion. No reasonable fire suppression system can handle an event this size. The best way to address this is detecting it early and running an emergency shutdown of the valves on the supply lines.

Yeah, just make sure the focal length is 200+ meters.

Get a nice large mirror.
