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
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
afaik
hell I think there's some cities on the west coast that use it
With bio fuels you have to becareful that the power you're getting out of it is less than the power it's taking to grow them
