@Deleted User uranium is infinitely better than fossil fuels
I'll put it this way
Would you rather put milluons upon millions upon millions of tonnes of dangerous stuff into the air you breathe every day
Or put a very small amount of more dangerous stuff deep underground where it can likely go undisturbed for millenia
Id rather keep fossil fuels
Why?
Because we been using it for so long that we know its a reliable fuel source. And uranium has it problems what if it turns out to be unstable what if it runs out causing our economy to get fucked? Ill just stick to my already reliable source of fuel thats been used and trusted since the 1700s
Even when you include Chernobyl
While the price of oil fluctuates due to the Middle East and Venezuela
Coal has been going out of style for a while, with nations like the UK abandoning it since the 80s due to the fact that it was too expensive
we are not even using uranium anymore
modern nuclear reactors use thorium
The real main issue with using nuclear reactors
is that americans will larp around and invade ur country
"muh muh nukes"
Thorium however takes forever to weaponize
it simply does not boom as much as uranium
produces much less waste
and has more efficiency
simply much more
considering that we were about to switch to thorium-based fuel after we ran out of uranium in the 1960s
but suddenly we found more of the uranium
the only downside of thorium reactor is that it is much much more expensive to build one
But given that the united states can afford this, this is not an issue.
The only issue is whether or not you have a permit for it
@Deleted User Uraniam is stable and will take far far longer to run out
Also @Techpriest I'm pretty sure Thorium reactors aren't mainstream yet
