Why do you think the people who said that “we cant do it” are the same people who now say “now its too late”? The pro and contra points to nuclear energy are pretty obvious. Also obvoius is, that these pros and cons are predestinated for disagreement.
Also its obvious that opinions can change, on the one hand people maybe start priorize low carbon enegry production, on the other hand rivers for cooling are drying, a few accidents happened, and the price for nuclear energy is now pretty high while the price for renewables and batteries is dropping. We had a lot of change in circumstances in the last years and decades to discuss so saying “fuck off” is pretty pathetic in this case if you ask me
The pro and contra points to nuclear energy are pretty obvious.
No they’re not, nearly everyone I have ever spoken to (online or in real life) who has been against it had no logically cogent or sound arguments.
It may seem obvious after decades of propaganda (and three specific events where only one of them was an actual event, and everything worked out fine), but it’s not.
Dude you are being handed the obvious pro and contra points in this thread if you do not take them serious I doubt it makes sense continuing to argue on the internet about this topic.
Not them, but having read this entire thread, what contra points?
Other than that, I haven’t seen much in this thread.
I see a few points of how Frances configuration for cooling may not be good, but that’s not an unsolvable problem?
At least more solvable than the energy storage problem.
Physicist, not an engineer.
You need baseline and demand power.
Renewables like wind and solar are great for demand. As they provide power typically when usuage is peaking. But those power outputs drop when its needed most, so you still need baseline power.
Nuclear power is great at baseline, but because it takes a lot to ramp power up and down, isnt great to handle peak loads.
Notice the team up here?
Why is it always renewables or nuclear. Both have their places.
This solves the energy storage problems as well. Less of a need for batteries with rare earth metals that are… Finite.
Is this the anti-nuclear talking point now?
After decades of, “we cannot do it,” it’s now, “we should have done it before, it’s not a good idea anymore”
Fuck right off
