I don't really care about them tbh, and GW alarmist hurt it worst than denyists I think.
With coal it's not just about global warming, coal power plants produce a shitload of toxic byproducts
Like, making sure some of the money didn't just... disappear?
Coal just in general has been on the way out for a while
We need more nuclear plants.
oil is heading that way too
People not happy with regulation around it? Or that people can get it cheaper overseas?
Like what caused the US coal mines to shut down in the first place?
@CreativeRealms if they were more commercially viable we would be building them
And well, if they had some low risk areas to construct them
They are powerful yes, but one mistake can screw over alot
When oil prices slowly increase they would be more appealing to investors
Not that we dont trust Nuclear, more like we dont trust people to keep it in check
Not to mention that it can be used for war as well
Nuclear reactors in the US are very safe
wind and solar are easy to setup, easy to invest in. nuke power is always on the table too
Yeah they are really safe.
That's part of their cost though
expensive to run
Less pollution though.
@ping Nuclear reactors anywhere are very safe. The only major nuclear accidents in history were flukes or design flaws that have been fixed in newer plants
That said, the second biggest disaster since cernnobyle resulted in no deaths related to radiation. At least that was the numbers of few months ago
You could argue birth defects
Some will argue that the damage to the environment is more important
pfft the environment.
It probably killed people, just not from radiation poisoning
THing is, they can claim everything on radiation as well
like random people getting birth defects. How do we know if its related to radiation
@ping The problem that caused Chernobyl was a design flaw that had already been fixed in reactors 10 years younger than it, and Fukushima's problem was the backup generators being flooded because the tsunami was larger than any recorded
But dont get me wrong, Id love nuclear power.
I'm relatively sure the problem that caused Three Mile Island was also a design flaw that had already been fixed in newer plants
And even then it still worked pretty well
But I gotta respect the wishes of those who dont
Even i am an outlier when it comes to how I think here
Solar/wind is still too new. Needs to be improved more.
People are afraid of nuclear power because they think nukes and hear scary works like radiation
Yeah.
Did you even watch the transformers movie??? It blew up because they were trying to harness power from an alien reactor core
kek
Oh shit I never heard about that, ping! 😮
Then there is the problem of waste which the US really hasn't fixed yet
