FEMA is doing nothing....

A nuclear reactor may need to be constantly monitored, but a nuclear battery can be ignored for decades. A nuclear reactor starts a nuclear chain reaction, and then controls it. A nuclear battery is just a bit of decaying material. It will decay at its rate for years, or even thousands of years.

The Soviets used them to power navigational beacons throughout Siberia. They could guide planes with these beacons that they placed in the middle of nowhere, and did not need to maintain for decades.


If there was a car accident, it would scatter radiation everywhere. There would need to be good shielding to protect the humans around it. The radioactive material could be stolen to make a smart bomb. Because it can not be increased or decreased, it would be difficult to increase or decrease the speed. What would we do with the old batteries?


Are you thinking of Venus? Mars has one of the less corrosive atmospheres in the Solar System. It has much less corrosive oxygen than Earth.

The major problem with Mars is its low magnetic field, and light atmosphere does little to protect it from solar radiation, but that is an electronic problem, not a mechanical problem.


Kafka is completely right.

Lithium-ion batteries are known to be dangerous due to fire hazards. You keep pretending batteries are safe if it makes you feel better, just don't park your EV in an attached garage.

I saw that and this white bitch has a TUBE channel and wants to make money off the misery of victims. Biden has gone over and beyond for these victims because they're mostly white and we all know Democrats love them some white conservative dick suckin. To this very day, victims of Katrina still suffers as do most victims of these horrific hurricane events. Typical white motherfuckers want shit done yesterday, especially those not use to such damage in their areas.....but those who chose to live off the grid, as in this ladie's case and most of NC, you have to have patience, something these entitled RICH white motherfuckers aren't use to.

And News Flash to this white bitch, NC is so damaged, its gonna take months if not years to rebuild that fucked up place and Biden will be long gone and Trump will be too busy counting crowd sizes should he win.....LOL so good luck bitch!!

OMG, this is interesting. SO Interesting. Your gal, Majorie Taylor Queef recently claimed the Dems control the weather.

And that sounds rational to your side.

But actually understanding the complex interplay between increasing sea surface temperatures due to increased greenhouse gas concentrations and hurricane strength is hard for you to believe.

Just burn your GED. It didn't do you any good.

I'm going with the brack obama philosophy and betting the ocean will not rise the three feet necessary to flood my house., and the history and intensity of hurricanes from recorded history.

In my younger days I spent a lot of time at sea, some of that time I was alone. Back then I had a wet cell battery pack with minimal electronics, yet they needed constant monitoring and maintenance. Salt is brutal on electronics, it's foolish to deny that.

I didn't start the mars rovers controversy so I'm only here to tell my person experience on what it takes to charge and keep an electrical system up and running in harsh conditions.

Gasoline causes fires too. Gasoline is easy to convert into a molotov cocktail. But molotov cocktails usually kill one or no people.

A well placed dirty nuclear bomb can easily kill 1,000 people. While the radiation can be cleaned, people will not trust the location anymore. We could easily lose the New York Subway to such an attack, which would make it impossible to keep NYC at 100%. That would be a huge dent in our productivity.

We have to be very careful that terrorists do not get their hands on a nuclear battery. I am sure that they cannot get to any nuclear batteries on Mars, but Siberia is another matter.

How much fuel does it take to get a rover to mars?

Can we go this weekend without arguing?

It takes about a thousand times the weight of the rover in fuel, but that fuel would not be radioactive. And it would be too big for a terrorist to easily steal.

NASA said their next mission will bring a payload of mars rocks back to earth. You have to know they're bullshitting. amirite

We've already established that you aren't consistent on this.

You don't believe in science when it says there's climate change. But you do believe when Trump tells you there's voter ID fraud.

One actually has EVIDENCE for it (climate change) the other doesn't (ID vote fraud).

So you have basically just admitted you are a dumbass. Thanks for the heads up, but we already knew.

Maybe one day your area will be hammered by a natural disaster.

Then we'll get to see you crying your eyes out begging every American to do whatever they can to help you and you will fall down at the feet of the FEMA workers who bail your ass out of the shit.

And you will mealy mouth all about your "faith" and how "God" got you through it and how you love FEMA.


It'll be fun. Mainly because blowhards like you are always ginormous pussies when the shit hits the fan. Always.

The main use of Molotov cocktails is to attack armored / protected vehicles.

You cannot clean up radiation. You can clean up radioactive materials. Think of it like sweeping up special dirt. I'd also say that mustard gas--fairly easy to produce--would be better for attacking something like the NY subway system. It'd cause more casualties and be much harder to clean up.

Nuclear batteries don't convert to nuclear weapons. They're a big lump of metal for all intents and they give off alpha radiation for the most part. They work through radioactive decay and create thermal energy that is converted to electricity.

Alpha radiation is not particularly dangerous. The gamma they give off is fairly low level, so you'd have to have prolonged exposure at fairly close range to really get a serious dose.
