@Louis Seriously though, i'm not an enviromentalist. But I promise you that interesting stuff is going on with solar power. And it's the one thing that actually make desert regions near the equator useful for something, instead of just being wasted real estate.

I'm not saying it's a choice between solar power and nuclear power. Just that in some regions one is prefarable to the other.

There's also natural disasters to consider. As Fukishima showed, it's not the best idea to place nuclear reactors in regions prone to earthquakes, tsunamis, tornadoes and other crap like that.

Fukishima was a fluke

The us navy proves it

The odds are pretty good. I'm just saying that the process is way too easy, anyone who really understands it could build their own generator

Fukushima was relatively safe given what happened.

Fukushima is what happens when your sea-defenses shift 10 feet downwards because the entire tectonic-plate shifted downwards.

One rad an hour isn't safe

A Nationalist talks to his people: "Honey, I have to admit something. I actually love you more than other women."

@Louis Considering the costs that the Fukushima disaster has generated. Are you still going to argue that it's "most watt per dollar"?

His people: "leaves him immideatly"

And that was outside the evacuation zone that the people were getting one rad an hour

@Seven Proxies yep

Even if it happened every year

@Louis Then you suck at math 😄

You suck at reading

Show us the math then

@Seven Proxies so because japan builds shitty outdated reactor near a fault line everyone else should suffer

@lancelout Totally not what I said at all. But anyway...

Wait, what's your issue with Fukushima?

Big-brain time thinking a damaged shut-down reactor equates to a fully-functioning reactor.

Because that wasn't a failure on the part of the plant

@Seven Proxies because watts per hour is an average

I guess those solar panels are really worth it when they get covered in sand, huh?
*chokes on autism*

Location, location, location

In the world

If you were talking about watts per hour in us

Then no

@Zephyr Blackfish As I said before: nuclear power plants require maintenance too. Disqualifying solar panels because they might get clogged with sand that requires cleaning is not a valid argument,.

It would be more expenisve

Maintenance every 10 years is not a big deal

@Seven Proxies nuclear-plants have a much greater energy/square-metre value than solar-plants ever will.

@Louis Dude... Nuclear power plants require daily maintenance if you didn't know.

@Seven Proxies daily upkeep not maintenancce

Imagine thinking that using a slab of metals to create power via natural temperature differentials to boil water would be more efficient than harnessing the temperature differentials from disintegrating materials, explosions, or fire.

They're more cost, fuel, and space efficient.

Maintenance implys replacing things

Goodnyaght everynyan! Currently in Windsor, a stone's throw from the castle. Haven't died yet, I'll see if I survive this trip. Btw I'm sorry for being as black pilled as I am. I genuinely am not the happiest person even though I am privileged compared to others. I believe those who talk to me have misplaced sympathies and should give their attention to more desvering people. I really dont have much to complain about even though I complain often. Maybe this is another cry for attention, probably. I hope you are all doing well and to those that aren't I hope you will soon.

@Louis Yes it is. It's just a different word for the same thing.

@Seven Proxies you get what i mean

Anyhow, I'm off to bed now. But it's been fun and all

@Danacrag Don't be a Cypher. Be a Neo.
