don't you become a politician?

Would you then have to _kill yourself_ ?

OOOOO:

Nuclear energy is necessary to address climate change

I'll go nuclear in you Sal

hot

how so @Salacious Swanky Cat

hello beeboy

@Deleted User oooh. Naughty. Lol

Nuclear and fusion is the future.

High output, low cost, low pollution, plentiful fuel

Nuclear fusion

Not location-based

Sounds like a Dragonball Z episode lol

Nuclear is carbon free energy and it is impossible to install renewables at a rate that both eliminates fossil fuels and meets the new demand growth that will come from electrifying everything. Plus, the only long term storage technology that exists is pumped hydro and it can’t be put everywhere. @O'Possum

Nuclear fission brah, less destructive

The first fusion reactor is being built in Europe. Hopefully it will work. Nuclear Fission is very effective

@Clive

Only commie environmentalists are against nuclear

I was making a physics joke about the energy output of fission vs fusion

Never trust the commie environmentalists. They lie so hard.

DID SOMEONE SAY

C O M M I E S

Oh fuck I forgot I'm not on my old phone anymore

Don't have the Pinochet weather report >:

Fusion is required to create self sustainable orbital habitats.

Ergo, even if it wasn't economically feasable, it's our only hope after Asia blankets us in a cloud of carbon dioxide.

After all, creating water and oxygen in space is "easy" once you're able to master fusion.

I agree. That’s why I think the hyper focus on renewables is stupid. @DJ_Anuz

Water is renewable if you know how to smash hydrogen and oxygen together

Dihydrogen monoxide beyotch

I learned you can store chlorine and bleach in the same bucket

I JOKE DON'T DO THIS

@pokemon_fetish that's a great idea.

lol did that other guy actually leave?

Considering I can still highlight him, prolly not

@DJ_Anuz we can do orbital habs without fusion as long as they're close enough to the Sun to make solar reasonably effective. Fusion is a nice bonus but it's only really necessary for deep space afaik.

he isnt showing up in the user list for some reason

oh okay yeah he shows up in replies

weird

@uncephalized it actually is. Unless you plan to be having 80% of the habitat dedicated to food oxygen and recycling.

For instance, most of the ISS's mass is taken up by it's oxygen farms.

With fusion tech, you won't be required to ship water, or have a majority of the facility be farms for converting CO2 into oxygen.
