The reactor runs at lower pressures but that’s about it

though I believe the systems are just using small amounts of uranium as a kind of starter for the reactor

correct me if I'm wrong

Uranium is about as rare as platinum so the sooner we get away from it the better

yup

most of the other elements we could use are even rarer

thorium seems to be one of the only others

at least that's more abundant

Fission just isn’t sustainable no matter how you cut it

Even if we used thorium we’re still burning metal

most power isn't at this point

we're either burning coal oil or metal

solar and wind are at least kind of promising

but then again they couldnt be solely relied on

Coal is cheap and abundant and CAN be mace reasonably clean emissions-wise

I can agree there

Sustained Fusion is probably our best bet

we really need to figure out how to harness fusion

Fusion is still the best option conceptually but very hard to achieve

But we can't get it yet

reactors are good for research but not a whole lot better. Only way for viability is fusion

yea exactly

hey the sun can do it

There's an outfit in my neck of the woods who's trying to achieve fusion

we just need to be bigger

like nigga

just put on weight

Lol just stick shit together

Biofuels are fine too

yeah

nice little recycle stuff

You can grow biofuel

👌

Oil companies just heavily lobby against it

yup

Hydro can also be used to supplement

I mean biofuel is like a stage before oil

Just not as effective as others

we get that shit from plants, just old ones

I’m sure it doesn’t take much conversion to make a standard petrol car run on methanol

it doesnt
