Plus reactors can keep 18-24 months of fuel onsite, so it's not like brief interruptions in the fuel supply chain will have an immediate impact.>don't forget about the wasteThe Yucca Mountain complex was almost finished when dullards like you had it shut down.

>>539240965>>539241178>costs more for the same energyIt's big upfront vs incremental investment over time.And you forget about footprint per MW and the fact that land lost to solar or wind could otherwise be developed for other purposes.>needs a ton of waterDepends on the plant design. Recirculating plants reuse most of their water and clever modern day designs reuse the residual heat from high-temperature steam through multi-stage systems with lower-heat turbines, or store heat into molten salt and then use that as a long-term heat source for e.g. residential purposes.>not scalableTrue, but not entirely. Classic plants cannot scale up/down rapidly, and require e.g. gas-plants to cover while they do so. However, modern plant design is a lot better in this aspect and modern plants can ramp from half to full capacity in approx. 15 minutes, where it might've taken 2 hours before. This makes intermediate buffering achievable, and is a topic of ongoing research. Theoretical molten salt reactors also have an even lower ramp-up/-down time, meaning they could become the cover to backbone uranium plants in a fission-energy world.>can only be deployed in limited environmentsCan't be deployed in earthquake-sensitive areas, indeed.>takes 10 times as long to buildLead time is a non-argument in the long-term picture. And the long-term picture is what matters if you are looking at committing to a particular energy mix for years or indeed decades to come.>vulnerable to supply disruptionsWind and solar are as well. And much moreso, since we can't exert control over the weather.>don't forget about the waste98% of it can be reprocessed into usual isotopes for other types of plant, or for industrial or medical use.The remaining 2% can be stored using modern encasing in leaded glass. We've come far in this area. Yet the cartoonishly stupid image of green glow-in-the-dark goop oozing from ruptured lead barrels in an abandoned mineshaft, still persists.

>>539240195nuclear power is not clean.to produce 1 gram of usable uranium, requires mining over 10,000 kilos of radioactive ore.The first stage of uranium production leaves 100s of thousands of acres of wasteland surrounding each mine, where the "tailings" are dumped. Tailings is the environmentally friendly sounding term that they use to mask the reality of the fact that this is crushed radioactive rock waste spread out on the ground. Far worse than strip-mining this nuclear waste and dust, left behind from mining causes massive environmental wastelands everywhere that uranium is mined. Secondly, the radioactive ore that they do keep is sent to France for processing by train. Yes that's right, open rail cars filled with radioactive uranium ore, are dragged down the rails through agricultural, residential, nature areas, into factories where the uranuim ore is further processed, leaving behind another 99.9% of this radioactive material as waste. If you thought that nuclear power plants ran on glowing crystals pulled from the ground, you've watched too much star-trek. It's a very dirty business, and we haven't even gotten to the second enrichment phase, which uses massive amounts of water, or the reactor cooling issues, and what most people know as "nuclear waste" which is shipped and dumped in northern Australia making it uninhabitable.
>>539243127Alright then what do you think we should use as a primary energy production methodology
>>539243291I have solar and wind on my property (400 acres).It's NOT scalable. Wind directly powers the pumps that supply water to the livestock, and agriculture. Solar powers everything else. Every home should have solar power. WE DON"T NEED ANY KIND OF POWER COMPANY. If you live in a big city, and can't put up solar panels on your shithole cubicle, then you're retarded and deserve what's coming to you.
>>539240195Relying on nuclear power is assuming that your country will never be at war again and that's an assumption that's too risky to make.
>>539244264Thanks for the comfy hangout spot with power included me and my gang of 40 raiders from the big city will be invading.I hope you have a cute wife and daughter too.
>>539240988The government employs millions of bureaucrats that argue about what needs to be done without actually doing anything at all. There's so much unnecessary bloat that our taxes are funding.

>>539243127>to produce 1 gram of usable uranium, requires mining over 10,000 kilos of radioactive ore.The "radioactivity" of most of those isotopes is so low that banana farmers probably have higher doses. Anything you're pulling out of the ground will have a half life of millions or billions of years otherwise it would have decayed already. Long half lives = barely radioactive = you're good.>The first stage of uranium production leaves 100s of thousands of acres of wasteland surrounding each mine, where the "tailings" are dumped.

Far worse than strip-mining this nuclear waste and dust, left behind from mining causes massive environmental wastelands everywhere that uranium is mined.That's all mining. You don't think there are some radioactive ores that get pulled up as gangue minerals? You might as well put a moratorium on mining lead or copper too. >Secondly, the radioactive ore that they do keep is sent to France for processing by train. Yes that's right, open rail cars filled with radioactive uranium ore, are dragged down the rails through agricultural, residential, nature areas, into factories where the uranuim ore is further processed, leaving behind another 99.9% of this radioactive material as waste.Not an argument when all other sorts of nasty shit that might not be "radioactive" (which is a spooky buzzword that scares low IQ people that don't know what it actually means) but plenty toxic is shipped via rail car, including things used in the supply change to make the computer or phone you're reddit spacing with right now.(TBC, fuck character limit)
>>539240965Hahaha, what the fuck did I just read?

>>539241811Let me know when they build a calculator with one.
>>539243127>>539244853>>what most people know as "nuclear waste" which is shipped and dumped in northern Australia making it uninhabitable.What type of nuclear waste are you talking about? Spent fuel is NEVER dumped - first it's stored onsite in cooling pools, then it's placed into caskets that are also usually in direct proximity to the power plant. Cooling pools are usually so gigantic and spent fuel is so small most reactors haven't even needed caskets.Low level nuclear waste includes shit like bunny suits of plant workers or mechanical parts of the reactor that get to irradiated to use. That's the shit that gets vitrified (i.e. encased in glass), poured into drums, and placed in a safe location where the radioactive isotopes within can decay until they're at safe levels. If you think those drums of nuclear waste are just filled with green glowing goo that leaks out, you've been watching too much of The Simpsons, you ignoroid.Also why the fuck are you talking about France and Australia when you have an American flag? Awfully sus.
>>539241679FFS there's more truth here that the worlds media combined.
>>539244917The truth. Look up just "LCOE" to verify the first one.

>>539243127Now do coal.
nuke costs 4x as much as anything when you factor in waste and de-commissioning.wait, you can't factor in de-commissioning because we don't know the costs of baby sitting the waste for 100,000yrs.PS-NO private insurance will touch Nuke Power plants with a 10,000mile long pole.Thats right, we finally found something Lloyd's London wont write ANY policy on. Live in Denver, CO and want a policy protecting you if a Reactor in Japan melts down? No can do.
>>539244778wind is incredibly powerful, when it's windy , and I highly recommend it for MECHANICAL energy applications, but it is unreliable, and not well suited to producing electricity. I have a windmill, that provides 400 Horsepower of mechanical energy. I runs a sawmill for about 6 hours every day, give or take depending on the season. Using wind to power a generator, converts mechanical energy into electrical... but if you then use that electricity to run motors, converting the electricity back into mechanical energy, you're a moron. Much is lost in both conversion processes. >>539244609Don't ever forget the lesson learned from the Chernobyl disaster. 1 Earth rotates to the East2 Nuclear fallout ALWAYS travels WEST3 If you Nuke Russia, the fallout kills Europe.
>>539240195Chernobyl o algo
>>539240195Because this isn't the 1970s anymore. Nuclear power plants were not cost competitive 50 years ago and the industry used Three Mile Island as an excuse to cancel projects. We live in the 2026s where solar power+batteries is literally the cheapest energy source except, funny enough, in places like Britain or Alaska where windmills+batteries is the cheapest. Centralized energy in the US is a legacy of FDR's Rural Electrification Act which was a colossal waste of money in the Great Depression and led to dependence on big government.
>>539245483Wind's reliability doesn't matter when you have enough batteries. Rain is far less reliable, yet we all can open a tap and drink from it.

>>539247765I hate it when the neutrons in my core decide to take a holiday and cause a supply disruption
>>539246520I stated that solar, wind, and battery are cheaper than nuclear per unit of energy. I didn't state they are cleaner (even though they are). The LCOE incorporates everything in the cost.And nuclear power also involves heavy mining and pollution. So you can't really say nuclear is better than solar, wind, and battery because of mining operations.Also, nuclear mines for the fuel. Solar, wind, and battery mine for the construction. Fuel is needed forever. Construction can be recycled.
>>539248088>>539247765>nuclear fuel comes out of thin air
>>539243291people need to use way less energy, all forms of electricity production harm the environment too much
>>539240195>Harnessed fissionMy nigger in christ we boil water.
>>539248611Retarded niggers always whine about “boiling water” as if steam turbines haven’t always been the most efficient way to turn large amounts of heat into usable electricity
>>539248299>fuel is needed foreverWe needed trees for fuel until we started using fossil fuels.We can move away from fossil fuels to fission, should we wish to.Eventually a new fuel source will replace that.Nuclear is better than solar and wind for the simple reason that it is reliable, we put in fuel, we get a defined amount of power.Solar and wind cannot do that without a method of energy storage (which needs to be substantial due to the power losses associated with storage and transmission), this is happily absent from all these metrics.I'm not saying don't include solar and wind in the mix where economical, but it cannot be the core of an energy strategy, anyone shilling against nuclear and still insisting we drop fossil fuels is just asking people to accept increasing energy poverty.
>>539248929Rain is not reliable yet we have drinking water 24/7. Reliability can be fixed with storage. The sun shines everyday, and the winds blow consistently. If you have enough generation and storage, you have enough energy.
>>539248891>most efficient>loses 65% of the energy in the conversionAlright
>>539245398Coal is awesome.Don't believe any of the lies pushed by big oil. Coal is nothing but 100% ORGANIC Carbon.If coal gets accidentally spilled, it doesn't contaminate the water supply, it literally cleans the water. If you don't use carbon water filters, you're stupid. Coal burns clean, and one of the byproducts of burning coal is water, released as steam. This steam can be used to power just about anything, ask any steam-punk enthusiast. The other byproduct of burning coal is coal ash, which is primarily recycled as a high-performance substitute for Portland cement in concrete. It is also used to manufacture wallboard (drywall), asphalt paving, roofing granules, and structural fills for construction.The main byproducts extracted from coal combustion are repurposed into specific everyday items and industrial materials, there is ZERO waste. Coal ash can be added to a garden to raise pH levels for soil that is too acidic. Other waste materials—like wood ash, compost, coffee grounds, and eggshells—can be added to gardens for additional benefits.Big oil lied about miners getting diseases from the mines, when in reality they were getting diseases from hookers. A LOT more oil workers died from VD than coal workers. The bible warned us about Abraham's wife spreading venereal disease in the middle east.
>>539240195American construction sector is dead. Just let nuclear die and fade away.
>>539248474He uses that argument while comparing nuclear to solar and wind, retard-kun.

>>539254978>energy compresseswas that a question?When energy or matter is compressed, work is performed on it, resulting in a physical or thermodynamic change. The action forces particles into a tighter space, which concentrates the energy. This process generally causes a rapid rise in temperature and stores potential energy that can be released later. Mechanical (Elastic): Compressing a physical object, like a spring, stores mechanical energy as Elastic energy. When released, this potential energy instantly converts back into kinetic energy to propel an objectThermodynamic (Gas): Compressing a gas packs its molecules closer together, increasing their kinetic energy and resulting in a sharp rise in temperature. This principle is the basis for internal combustion engines and refrigerators.Grid-Scale (CAES): Excess electricity is used to compress ambient air and store it under high pressure in massive underground caverns. When power is needed, the compressed air is expanded to drive turbines and generate electricity."Energy cannot be created nor destroyed".This fundamental principle is the Law of Conservation of Energy (or the First Law of Thermodynamics). It states that the total energy in an isolated system remains constant; energy cannot be created out of nothing and cannot vanish, but it can change form. Anyone telling you that they create energy, is a con artist.

>>539257252Nuclear fission involves splitting a heavy, unstable atom (like uranium) into smaller atoms to release energy, which powers today's commercial nuclear reactors. Nuclear fusion is the opposite process; it forces two light atoms (like hydrogen) to combine into a heavier one, releasing several times more energy and powering the sun.Toshiba corporation, is working on building a Tokamak. Technology developed by the Russians in the 1950s. If they are successful in creating Taurus, a literal star here on Earth, Japan will overcome it's energy dependence. The Japanese will of course all be vaporized, but they will no longer be dependent on others to supply them with energy.
