All the bushes and trees in Cornwall are pointing the same way cos of all the wind
Over their lifetime, less carbon is emitted @UnScottable
in terms of kwh per dollar its nuclear fission (uranium), hydro electric ng, oil, coal, wind, nuclear fission (thorium, for now), and finally right at the bottom solar
maintaining them is a bitch and expensive... and also requires fossil fuels
they are noisy and just generally pretty lame yo
Significantly less than say, a coal plant
> The UK has 15 operational nuclear reactors at seven plants
Meaning we're less dependant on imports
Which from a strategic POV is very good
@Crafty are they power plants or breeder reactors though?
Foriegn companies and countries will have less influence / control over us
By holding their coal / oil / gas exports hostage
Or, ramping up the price
Coastal wind turbines are not an unreasonable idea in the UK, especially now their unsubsidised cost is now competitive
in terms of polutants wind is pretty good, solar is shit on both fronts, with just co2 emissions a full cycle solar pannel causes more than any fossil fuel except coal, and including non greenhouse gas polutants solar is just the worst
climate change is bullshit really
Don't care @UnScottable
National security.
admittedly don't know @killerqwerty, but it seems UK's nuclear energy supply peaked in the '90s
i think nuclear would be a much danker option
Except the French own most if not all of our reactors
British nuclear is cucked out to foreigners
ewww Frogs
whyd you give em to the french. wtf
Exactly @Dubdogelmo
just go take em back
*Hon hon hon*
be like hey you
give me my reactor back biiiitch
so for the us nuclear is 100% safe nationaly since canada is basicaly a part of the usa
@ShardS there are also massive uranium deposits in Australia
well the big energy producer for the US is natural gas now
Interesting how all of the Uranium is in former British dominions
yeah, nuclear gets gutted every time a dem/labour government is in place
the real reason us/uk nuclear is about 20 years behind france and japan.
i dnt understand why that is... is it they are just afraid of a malfunction?
Pretty much yeah
No one wants that
Nuclear in Japan is dead @ShardS
its not really that hard to shut them down
