Rad Future
The Untold Story of Nuclear Electricity and How it will Save the World
Isabelle Boemeke . 2025 . 333.7924 . Beaverton Lib
.pxiii INTRODUCTION
- pxiv most Amazon fires started by illegal land clearing, but climate change makes them more severe
pxiv Rio Grande do Sul, southern Brazil gateway to Uruguay☺
- px . How Does the Land Use of Different Electricity Sources Compare?
- Our World in Data, June 16, 2022v former (NOT NOW) eco-misanthrope, "... humans should go extinct ..."
pxv others David Attenborough
Steven Hawking - humans chemical scum
- misunderstood by Boemeke
- "scum" == very thin and vulnerable biolayer film
- .. on a vastly larger planet
- .. in a frighteningly dangerous universe
implication: we must grow vastly more capable to protect the Earth
- some say (including me) "the dinosaurs died because they didn't have a space program"
- pxvi young people pervasive hopelessness

- Our World in Data, June 16, 2022
p043 'Land Use per KWh' wrong source, odd units, actual data here, units are m²-year per MWh, equivalent to m² per annual average watts divided by 114
nuclear |
0.3 m² |
methane gas + CCS |
1.3 m² |
hydropower > 660MW |
14 m² |
Solar PV |
19 m² |
Coal power + CCS |
21 m² |
Small hydropower < 360MW |
33 m² |
Onshore Wind |
99 m² |
- Onshore wind not listed in source, this is presumably spacing of the wind turbines. The land underneath is probably not safe for human dwellings, but it can still be used for agriculture, PV, hydro reservoir, or landfill.
