Anywho
well it was personal
You are correct, wond and solar have a battery problem
Even though it didn't. It said I was a libertarian socialist.
Long-term storage is a huge issue that needs to be solved
im kinda curious about other power gen options like fusion but humanity is far from that
once space travel stabilizes, we might be able to just place dirty power plants on moon or mars
Fusion is close but LFTrs and Gen 4 reactors are a better method
Tide energy is a viable option.
Yeah the UK is the closest to that last I heard. But I haven't looked into it in months.
And safer
tide energy only works in some nations
Problem with tidal gen is also the same as solar and wind
for most, its worthless
not really
you can predict tides
Tides are reliable. Moon doesen't like to go hiding
unlike solar and wind
Well when you consider a significant portion of humanity is on coasts. It's not *that* insignificant.
You still have the battery problem
thats centralized so its fine
decentralized power storage is expensive
You cant control output on tidal, solar and wind
In terms of generation
Sure. But unlike wind or solar it's a constant stream of energy. It doesn't need to be stored. It can be used fo help supplement the grid.
There is this thing called supply and demand
i really wanna see humanity colonize mars
put all the nuclear waste there
Nit enough demand and too much supply will overload the system
unless we can just use it
theres no real waste from nukes
Not enough supply and too much demand and then you get blackouts
well its one thing
and its free
of course wont power everything
Gen 4 reactors eat nuclear waste
And uses it as fuel
thorium is a good decentralized option
That too
and its common af
