Living near newly built reactors and facilities isn't even dangerous at all

i would love to live near a nuclear power plant

There can't be a meltdown

And wind needs to be close to the grid

Hmm

Anyway

It's dumb to say there's no problems with noise from wind farms as that's one of the most important engineering factors when building a farm

aren't wind farms usually huge

but have very few turbines?

cuz you need like

10km between each turbine <:think_madpepe:378717098630971395>

they are spaced between 180m to 600m apart

yeah

sooo

it's just a waste of space

waste of space, money and have a huge impact on the wild life where you put it up

i'd rather get more nuclear power plants

^

might as well just build lots of houses and cover them in solar panels

Those are semi trucks on a highway

you get so much more for your money when you go nuclear it silly, and with the progress we are doing on getting the most out of the fuel rods, nuclear waste is a decreasing problem. you get surprisingly little waste as long as you not trying to make fuel for nuclear bombs

just gib fusion <:pepe_sad:560202541904953365>

fusion gang

we are getting there, but the funds are so low it is going at a snail pace sadly

Andrew 'Fushion Boi' Yang

well i'm not surprised tbh

that fusion isn't getting much funding

it will probably kill the oil industry

if it becomes commercially viable

There's been some recent fusion advances

and then we won't be able to bring democracy to the middle east <:pepe_sad:560202541904953365>

The issue is it isnt stable, yet.

Also the nuclear. That's my exact arguement why I dont care about the sharing of nuclear power tech. Because 1 energy grade is far different from weapons grade.

We don't have fusion, stable or otherwise.

Iirc they did make a prototype for fusion but it only lasted for like 1 fusion, and stopped. The input was more than the output and it couldn't sustain fusion

No

I had an inorganic chemistry professor who would often joke about the incompetence of "scientists" in countries like North Korea, and their inability to develop tech needed to build nuclear weapons

especially taking into consideration the time spent on attempting to do so
