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

well those are big power plants, you can store power there

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

plus not dangerous

Cant be used to make nukes

lasts really long

Plenty of safeguards

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

Hardly any waste.
