Parked under these quite majestic windmills when passing through The Netherlands a few weeks ago. There’s something quite beautiful about semi-wild landscapes. I love windmills, I’ve written before that they sing of sci-fi utopias.
Are they perfect? No.
Do they still extract resources from the Earth? Yes.
Do I prefer them to a filthy, polluting oil refinery or a nuclear power station whose toxic waste will remain active on earth for ten-thousand years? Absolutely.
I know a lot of travellers seek out supposed epic, pristine landscapes, & of course those wild spaces are beautiful, but for me there’s also something quite magnificent in landscapes telling a different story at the intersection of humanity, technology & nature.

Today in Labor History May 24, 1982: Over 400,000 people participated in massive anti-nuclear demonstration in Tokyo. In March, over 200,000 demonstrated for nuclear disarmament in Hiroshima.

I just came across this article when replying to another person's Toot. Thought it might be of interest... And yes, I did visit Kakadu -- partly as a tourist, and partly to interview Australian Aborigine #antinuclear activists who were protesting an expansion of a #uranium mine.

Sickness Country

"Not far from Kakadu are deposits of uranium. Aboriginals have known to avoid this area for centuries—it is known as 'sickness country'. The artwork shown here depicts a person with swollen joints—the first signs of radiation poisoning."

How did #masculinity performed in #scientificactivism come in the way of articulating #antinuclear futures?

Relying on #expertactivism in #antinuclear movements is insufficient if #technoscientific elites know well how to manage #scientificcriticism.
