Nit enough demand and too much supply will overload the system

2020-01-25 08:56:32 UTC  

unless we can just use it

2020-01-25 08:56:40 UTC  

theres no real waste from nukes

2020-01-25 08:56:44 UTC  

Not enough supply and too much demand and then you get blackouts

2020-01-25 08:56:54 UTC  

well its one thing

2020-01-25 08:56:56 UTC  

and its free

2020-01-25 08:57:04 UTC  

of course wont power everything

2020-01-25 08:57:05 UTC  

Gen 4 reactors eat nuclear waste

2020-01-25 08:57:23 UTC  

And uses it as fuel

2020-01-25 08:57:23 UTC  

thorium is a good decentralized option

2020-01-25 08:57:29 UTC  

That too

2020-01-25 08:57:35 UTC  

and its common af

2020-01-25 08:57:39 UTC  

plus not dangerous

2020-01-25 08:57:39 UTC  

Cant be used to make nukes

2020-01-25 08:57:48 UTC  

lasts really long

2020-01-25 08:57:52 UTC  

Plenty of safeguards

2020-01-25 08:58:08 UTC  

i kinda wonder what uses there are to the waste of thorium

2020-01-25 08:58:14 UTC  

Hardly any waste.

2020-01-25 08:58:18 UTC  

The big benefit to thorium is the half-life

2020-01-25 08:58:33 UTC  

i think burning thorium makes lutetium and some other stuff

2020-01-25 08:58:38 UTC  

300 years and the fuel can be reused

2020-01-25 08:58:40 UTC  

no clue what thats used for

2020-01-25 08:58:48 UTC  

probably has some use

2020-01-25 08:59:09 UTC  

And the waste it does produce loses it toxicity fairly quickly.

2020-01-25 08:59:16 UTC  

We cant use waste from nuclear material generation

2020-01-25 08:59:27 UTC  

i remember people on another server talking about graphene batteries

2020-01-25 08:59:48 UTC  

that graphene is kinda hard to make at the moment but can store a lot

2020-01-25 08:59:52 UTC  

Those are an interesting research project for sure

2020-01-25 08:59:55 UTC  

and its basically just carbon and silicon

2020-01-25 09:00:00 UTC  

Yep

2020-01-25 09:00:09 UTC  

no clue about them tho

2020-01-25 09:00:14 UTC  

maybe a thing in 10 years

2020-01-25 09:00:23 UTC  

doesnt seem to be that far away

2020-01-25 09:00:40 UTC  

and unlike lithium/lead/sulfur/cadmium its probably clean

2020-01-25 09:01:16 UTC  

*i might have some of that knowledge from semi realistic games*

2020-01-25 09:01:38 UTC  

anyways, im heading off

2020-01-25 09:01:40 UTC  

gn o/

2020-01-25 09:01:47 UTC  

Later.
