  • Well you see we kinda are failing at the whole mitigating climate change issue and we and we only have so many rare earth minerals to exploit for large scale battery storage banks. And every year we are burning more Fossil Fuels and shutting down more reactors and building no new modern designs and giving nuclear none of the funding the fossil fuel industry receives or the renewables industry receives.

  • the impact of having a nuclear plant when you’re in a war

    Ukraine seems to be fine, beyond Russians digging up their own fuck up dirt from the past to dig trenches

  • Its cheaper than climate change.

  • Do you have any opinions on light water SMR designs? Do you think the idea to mass produce them and distribute these smaller reactors on a local basis is feasible, or do you think if they are mass produced we would be more likely to see them clustered in series in more modern plants?

  • Its expensive to build new bespoke massive, built on site reactors. I'm not arguing for more of them I'm saying lets run them for their full service lives as they were so expensive to produce. However if we are discussing new installations i'd love to start making a lot of small modular light water reactors in factory conditions. Economies of scale.

  • Ah yes famous conservative ideals such as community owned and locally managed power grids to not be beholden to fossil fuel mega-corporations. Advocating for technologies to immediately get us to net zero carbon emissions Such as Federal Grants and funding for development and mass deployment of SMRs to local communities to provide free near zero carbon power.

  • Did you even read your own article? It's an opinion piece by one man. He's using back of the napkin calculations just like I am, and while his math is mostly correct, and while I love his margins for error for increased solar required to take up the slack for unplanned issues with renewable power generation, he never discusses how much money it would cost to buy up all of that land to implement that massive amount of solar. He conveniently skips over eminent domaining of over 27,000 acres of land required to make such a large solar farm to replace the two already almost completed reactors not even counting to replace the two older already in place reactors... from that same location. Oh then we still have to also pay to decommission them...

  • that is what im describing. im saying turn old peakers into base stations. use batteries as the new peak power stations. batteries can then be charged with renewables, the batteries can also take up excess power from base stations as they cant immediately downshift production.
