America has this weird fetishization with punishment

I read a story like this and all i want is for this guy to be punished and i don’t think its weird. That girls life is ended at 18 for what? The family is owed justice. Part of justice is punishment. Some part of justice is punishment isn’t it?

I think a lot of us try distance ourselves from things that should be okay to feel and experience. It should be okay to say I want certain people to be punished for the shit they’ve done. Because rehabilitation doesn’t always work and also not every person deserves the consideration.

Sure, but doesn’t that just increase the nuclear waste storage issue if we turn all these vehicles nuclear powered

Yea both are horrible. But we can get off fossil fuels and walk away. We can’t with nuclear. It’ll always be with us and doesn’t solve that we need fossil fuel for other things.

Jets and ships are still going to need fossil fuels.

Which is why I think the best thing we could be doing right now is focusing on improving how energy is store. With the right advancement we could solve a lot of these problems with the right battery.

It would be cool to see huge investments into battery storage. If we could create a battery that doesn’t just leak energy from storing, we could generate power in one location and ship it out where it’s needed. There could be remote energy production plants using geothermal or hydroelectric power that ship out these charged batteries to locations all over. It would let us better utilize resources instead of having to have cities anchored around these sources.

Or we could generate a ton of power all at once, store it and use it as needed rather having to have on demand energy production

Hell with better batteries even fossil fuels begin to be climate friendly since you could store the massive energy created and know you’re using close to 100% of it.

The problem is its potential for harm. And I don’t mean meltdown. Storage is the problem that doesn’t seem to have strong solutions right now. And the potential for them to make a mistake and store the waste improperly is pretty catastrophic.
