 Coal plant carbon dioxide and radioactive emissions: How do we convince other countries to stop building new coal plants while we produce green energy driven by a “global warming” concerns?

We could lead by example. We stopped testing weapons with the belief that other countries would suspend their efforts. North Korea and Iran didn't seem to follow that example.

We could try the carrot approach, but giving a pallet of cash to Iran didn't prove to be helpful.

When Trump did the stick approach it got North Korea's attention, for a short while.

If a country has large coal deposits they will build that type of plant over a nuclear plant simply based on the cost.

I don't have an answer, but I am sure that driving our economy into the ground and becoming dependent on other countries for our energy needs to provide an example will not work just like our suspension of testing.

We do this by creating a Global government, by getting rid the of need of winner take all capitalism, creating equity, and being welcoming to migrating communities which due to climate change will be in the billions. The idea of private home ownership needs to be overcome. The labs can play a big role in this.

The labs should divert some of their LDRD funding on looking how to scientifically make are more green and equitable future. This would include looking into how to meet people basic needs with dignity and respect. How to reduce wealth inequalities, make sure that large portion of our society do not have to live in fear. Covid has offered the labs a unique opportunity to doing something to make the world better rather than working on weapons of mass destruction that supports a western system that says it is about freedom when in fact it is about oppression.

9:49 can you provide any shred of evidence for the actual utility of your socialist agenda? Since when do “the Labs” provide ANY role in the elimination of private home ownership or a Global government? You spew to the point of froth.

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

By scooby
Tri-Valley Cares needs to be on this if they aren't already. We need to make sure that NNSA and LLNL does not make good on promises to pursue such stupid ideas as doing Plutonium experiments on NIF. The stupidity arises from the fact that a huge population is placed at risk in the short and long term. Why do this kind of experiment in a heavily populated area? Only a moron would push that kind of imbecile area. Do it somewhere else in the god forsaken hills of Los Alamos. Why should the communities in the Bay Area be subjected to such increased risk just because the lab's NIF has failed twice and is trying the Hail Mary pass of doing an SNM experiment just to justify their existence? Those Laser EoS techniques and the people analyzing the raw data are all just BAD anyways. You know what comes next after they do the experiment. They'll figure out that they need larger samples. More risk for the local population. Stop this imbecilic pursuit. They wan...

Trump is to gut the labs.

By scooby
The budget has a 20% decrease to DOE office of science, 20% cut to NIH. NASA also gets a cut. This will  have a huge negative effect on the lab. Crazy, juts crazy. He also wants to cut NEA and PBS, this may not seem like  a big deal but they get very little money and do great things.

Rumor corner

By scooby
LLNS may have excluded the wrong people in last VSSOP? The exclusions were based on outdated job categories and related skills. ULM are now thinking that in the future, job categories and functional areas will have to be re-defined. The next VSSOP/ISP will be based on the new categories and functional areas. The questions I have are: 1) Why didnt they think of that before the transition. It seems like their style is “change things as you go”. Planning is out the window! 2) Who will give input on the new changes? The next RIF apparently is going to be more lucrative than the VSSOP. Depending on the length of employment, a RIFed person, not only gets their 1 week pay per year of service but also from 30 to 120 days notice, essentially 30 to 120 days pay. Please feel free to comment on the rumors or add new ones you actually heard.
