After 31 straight weeks of drought nearly 60 percent of Texas is bone dry. Anna Werner visited the town of Spicewood Beach where the situation is more desperate than anywhere else in the state.

  • @wo0obly I suggest anger management classes for you.

    some people just don't learn even after Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, Fukushima, Vermont Yankee Leaking Nuclear Waste Into Connecticut River, Chelyabinsk, etc.

    they say it takes 15 years before a nuclear power plant produces it's first watt of profitable power, however if you include the post operation costs and disease its only stealing from the future, We are dumping Nuclear Waste on future generations and that is irresponsible!

  • @wo0obly "Clean Nuclear" is product that has been marketed with a billion dollar campaign and you bought it, hook line and sinker!

    It only seems clean to you because you don't see of the kinds pollution it creates.

    I agree it does not seem as nasty as coal but it creates pollution that is invisible and deadly, that lasts for thousands of years.

    If the Great Pyramid was a nuclear power plant people around it would have been dying for thousands of years without knowing why...

  • @Shroommduke When the fuck did I say it was safe, I said it was one of the cleanest when it doesn't fuck up. You need to go through the dangerous phases of tech to reach the safe shit, we wouldn't have anything if we didn't progress and improve.

  • @wo0obly We have the China Syndrome happening in Japan and idiots like you still think it's a viable option...

    are you gonna keep the Nuclear Waste at your house? how about the contaminated runoff from the open-pit Uranium mines, maybe you can live at one of the old contaminated sites that have been abandoned by the companies that built them,

    What would it take for people like you to get a clue about how dangerous this shit is?

  • @wo0obly maybe you can enlighten us on how safe nuclear power is... lol I'm sure the Russians and Japanese would love to hear it.

    'Four different types of radiation are emitted during a nuclear accident like the Fukushima meltdown: iodine, cesium, strontium, and potassium."

    caesium-137 is the principal source of radiation in the zone of alienation around the Chernobyl plant, with caesium-134, iodine-131, and strontium-90, caesium-137 constitute the greatest risk to health.

  • @Mr13born79 Because they are evil sinners, fornicators and pornographers, they need to repent and show their faith in God by sacrificing their first begotten sons then ask for forgiveness!

    JK, there are lots of good peoples in Texas, just like anywhere. truth is, shit happens or doesn't happen...

  • pump a little more oil that insulates the surface from scorching......

  • @HanDynasty26349 kk xD

  • @wo0obly now were on the same level let what negativity we have pass by us and let us be at peace in time we will find a better solution than violence :D peace be with you my new friend

  • @HanDynasty26349 Solar and wind may be clean but they don't distribute enough electricity, if anything the actual plants are worse for the society than nuclear power due to pathetic output. They shouldn't be putting money into making plants, rather developing the technology of the solar power generators, or finding a cheap way of getting solar power plants in space.
