Given the high cost and long lead times involved, I’m incredibly dubious about this one actually happening.
With the price drop in renewables it just doesn’t make much sense economically
Why are people down voting this? I ask sincerely. I would have assumed the same thing.
It is an ideological thing with some people - it doesn’t matter what makes sense economically. You can find a comment on the same level as this one where someone is talking about lacking energy density. I value my time too high to start arguing against something I know is a bad faith argument and nothing will come of it.
Because nuclear has WAY more power generation than other renewables.
Solar, wind, geothermal, and hydro won’t be able to keep up with electricity demand if we want to eliminate fossil fuels. The power density of nuclear just can’t be matched.
You misunderstood what I’m saying. I’m not talking about what is powering things, I’m talking about what we need in order to power an all-electric future.
Nuclear has a much higher power capacity for generation than solar and wind.
If we want to replace the coal, natural gas, and oil in that graph, we’re going to need nuclear.
What we need now, to not transform earth into a postapocalyptic wasteland, are renewables. What type of electricity we use after that I don’t care about.
they have been pledging a lot of stuff for the last 30 or more years.
ill believe anything when i see it heppening.
it’s just more power on top of existing sources.
We have seen your previous pledges, we all know these are hollow promises.
How short sighted. In a couple decades the same countries will try to find ways to unpollute their ground and water from the radiation leaking from all the wastw they produce
There are plenty of valid criticisms of nuclear, blind fearmongering isn’t necessary.
