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
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.'
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
alternative power is getting cheaper as tech progresses
Not to mention solar panels rarely (if ever) actually pay for themselves on a consumer scale
Everyone go geothermal
Wut
Lmao
*hydro power?*
I remember that discussion about electric cars......
Like I said, where does the power come from? Coal mines.
@Revan got a source on that? People that have been using solar for 5+ years say theyve payed themselves off
You get less efficient vehicles which still get their power from "unclean" sources
Let's tape into those natural corrosive, high pressure, toxic vents! This is safe.
@ping No, I don't have a source, but the people whose panels have payed for themselves most likely live in very sunny areas that rarely have clouds
@GingaBomber Not to mention mining the materials for the batteries
And that
Like fuck man, apple gets their metals from third world countries
