I would guess a lot more.. But I dont know the specifics. But the debris would keep all other orbital launches grounded

who knows, but the specific nations isn't as important as the risk of it happening at all, on a large scale...

and thats not taking into account deliberate shooting down of sattelites with missiles, say if one nation was loosing a war badly and blamed the other side supplying weapons to their enemy....

thats only if anti-satellite missiles arnt used, thats my biggest worry, not an accidental collision, but a series deliberate shoot downs of satellites from one side or another...

Say Some nation was badly loosing a war and wanted to threaten the west....

so whats the priority, who gets to determine resource allocation, and which population group benefits and suffers?.

Its also a matter of trust in intentional institutions, transparency, corruption and corporate influence.

badly wtitten forced romances and interpersonal dramas are the bane of my existance as a scifi reader too

make ecocide a crime against humanity and give all corporations a few years warning to change or all shareholders, CEOs etc gets charged with crimes against humanity..

I suggest lifetime sentence of hard labor cleaning pollution...

you mean; the bought media dont report human rights abuses by their corporate overlords...

thats fvcking disgusting. if this is the practice, they should be nationalized.

I have always argued for nationalization of all industries that refuse to change their operations to protect global and local Environments

I meant how environmentally friendly are their mining operations

do we know how well treated and paid those local Africans are? and their general environmental behavior in those countries

and how they treat the local population and the environment

would really like some follow on information; does the European and American companies for an example, only mine there, where does the resources mined by each company come from, and if not what is their deal with the locals and how exploitative are these corporation

instead of only building large nuclear reactor power station for whole cities, I would think that smaller, modular reactors, mass produced and transportable, thats easily expanded, maintained and replaced would be an important part of the solution to also incorporate where viable. A reactor thats an isolated "single-use" closed-system. Where the manufacturer comes and replaces it after some years and rebuilds a new one from the recyclable parts of the old one. I even think there are types that can use decommissioned nuclear warheads as fuel.

and Finland Have a Solution to Nuclear Power’s Waste Problem
