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.
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
DHMO lol
@Grenade123 > People are afraid of nuclear power because the EPA and the media tells them to be afraid of it despite not knowing shit about it.
@CreativeRealms both are mature tbh
Pretty mucb
Still, can we trust the media when they do a 180 on it?
Wind is pretty gimmicky
Who would we trust to tell us that it is safe
The waste issue was fixed, but Carter (I think) outlawed Breeder reactors in the U.S. because at some point the fuel is weapons-grade
Wind is alright, though people keep going on about 'da birbs doe.'
I guess birds kept running into the turbines or something?
Wind costs way too much
Wind and solar are both affected by the weather, as well
Was it fixed? What are they currently doing with it? Besides leaving it somewhere and not checking on it
Even less of a long term investment than nuclear
No matter how good your power grid is there will always be dead spots with nothing but solar/wind power
