This took so long to make, it's embarrassing. Why is there no love for reactors in the objectum community? :(

Hello all. In the wake of the trump administration's push for more nuclear reactors and weapons, please keep in mind that nuclear energy is not a joke and is in no way "clean" energy. It takes an enormous environmental and human cost to pull out of the earth, and contaminates places and people around it all the way up the supply chain. Plutonium is only created in nuclear reactors, and the same power plants that provide electricity directly supply weapon manufacturers.

The people most directly effected by nuclear colonialism is of course indigenous peoples around the world. The majority of testing, refining, and disposal is on sacred lands, reservations, and island nations. The cancer, birth defects and disability rates of communities near these sites are extremely high. The US military leaves behind nuclear waste that kills people for generations after.

I know there's a lot going on but please take this seriously and please recognize it's not a joke. There are so many horrific health, cultural and environmental effects from nuclear colonialism. If there is talk of nuclear reactors in your area, join efforts against them.

I promise this isn't jest I just don't understand physics- why don't we just use heat to boil the water to make the fans go? Why do we use nuclear stuff for it?
