Wait what

Really

I am so hyped for more fission reactors tho

I want them

god yes, if we can figure out fission and actually put it to use that'd be amazing

MSR is pretty badass.

US has so much barren land to put reactors on

and replace the awful oil plants

And coal

It can't in any way compete economically with CCGT for electricity generation in America but it's badass.

We should also increase funding to space exploration, and then just jettison all nuclear waste into the milky way while we send out probes

That's the denizens of the demon star's problem to deal with

I want fusion

When's
T H O R I U M
Lads?

thats hype

Fusion is a meme.

hi grey ones

I had a brain fart and thought we were discussing fusion already. But yeah we should really make use of the current nuclear tech we have

Nuclear won't be economical until petroleum becomes un-economical. And peak oil is constantly being debunked.

You sure did

Nuclear is cheaper tho

In the long run that is

Nuclear has its substantial costs.

All energy costs something

Part of the issue is infrastructural. We already have systems in place for storing and using the fuel we have

It sure is

Even if we just look at cars, try to find the publicly accessible charging stations in your area

But those are just metal containers basically

Right

So

if we can harness solar radiation though

Why can't we jam the cisterns with batteries @Beemann

Really

Just containers really

Why don't we just make a really big water wheel and place it next to the earth so that the earth's rotation powers it

Woke

solar sails? they've actually discussed that I think, but for replicating gravity on space stations

Bring back Project Orion tbh fam

I want several nuclear explosions to fling me to Mars
