  • If you really feel this way, you're too tired and need a break. Others can and will spell you.

    You should take some time to recover and avoid posting defeatist stuff like this.

    Hope you feel better!

  • The market found the best solution: renewables.

    You are the one here arguing we should be doing nuclear. You are the person here with an agenda.

  • You don't have to convince me, if you think it's such a great power source with such low costs you should pitch some investors.

    I would think you would be the one trying to understand why nuclear plants aren't being built if their costs are lower and benefits are higher. 🤷‍♂️

  • Show me the line items for long term handling of the waste, please. I am curious how much they allocated.

  • All of which ignores lots of real world factors that aren't being included in the costs the commenter outlines.

    Again, if nuclear were cheaper, you wouldn't all be here downvoting my comments, you'd be discussing all the great new nuclear being onlined.

    Renewables have won. They're cheaper and easier to deploy, they're distributed rather than concentrated, and they have lower impacts on the environment.

    FWIW: I thought thorium reactors might have had some legs in the 00s, but it became clear those didn't make fiscal sense, either.

  • How long does that waste need to be safely stored and what are the projected costs there? How do they compare to solar that you can deploy today?

    We are not running out of space to put power generation, but we definitely need to worry about costs.

  • Now do the math on the cost of that uranium and the facility you need to turn it into power compared to the cost of the solar.

    If you think cost isn't the primary factor in all energy production ... 🤷‍♂️

    Edit: not to mention all the essentially free developed space we already have in spades to deploy solar to: rooftops.

  • If any of that were actually true, we wouldn't be net negative on nuclear reactors onlined over the past couple decades.

    Starting to think the nuclear lobby has been pushed by the fossil fuels industry to delay renewables adoption.

  • Why should any underdeveloped nation want to build more expensive nuclear plants that come with tons of issues when they can now install solar, wind and batteries for less?

  • We are installing gobs of distributed, cheap, safe solar and batteries to smooth load and nuclear proponents will still be running around advocating for expensive centralized nuclear reactors that generate either long-lasting radioactive waste or nuclear bombs.

  • Part of the reason for all this bullshit is people will just do it instead of going to a different place that doesn't require bullshit but maybe costs a little more. 🤷‍♂️

    This seems like your bed? If you're not willing to go to a place that doesn't do this to you, I guess you just gotta lie in it.
