A Nuclear Energy Standard Would Spike a Shift in Power

[newmissionusa]

“That they would lose power”

Pun intended

[stevensnell]

Yes I know. Control is more important than solutions

[aw]

the more carbon in the atmosphere the better the crop yield

[blackmetalmatters]

Hmmm...you have convinced me to stack physical Uranium bullion.

This applicable in various humanities fields including peace, poverty eradication, relief, equality, etc.
It is all about keeping the problem on and on to keep subjective powers.

[jtto]

Yep yep. Just went to Dworshak Dam & Reservoir, and they were only running the small generator. Bypass releasing thousands of gallons of water so the price of electricity would stay high. Its all about profits.

Master in Nuclear Engineering here. Nuclear money is not in making power, money is in making nukes or enriched fuel for submarines or carriers, the price in which enriched U and Pu is sold to the military against the price for nuclear power plants is like comparate diamonds vs coal, I know military use way more enriched fuel but we have pretty cheap methods to enrich fuel since decades ago.

In certain fields of agriculture, we raise artificially the CO2 content of the air in order to get better crop production (quicker and denser). It's nature's way of regulating.

[Kevin-sryx]

So, we could have nuclear powered cars?

[davidraimundo]

Exactly, when there is no more problems, there's no more financial gain.

Kinda sounds like, why we will never get a cure for cancer.

[rogerfranklinmaxwell]

That's right money talks solutions walks

hisashi ouchi (the radiated man), chernobyl, people that suffered from atom bombs, not knowing what to do with the waste, etc

nuclear is powerful but it is equally dangerous

[laurak]

Thank you. I learn so much on your channel.

I think PNNL wrote a paper some years ago, if you used nuclear to synthesize fuel you'd use the thermal energy to directly drive the chemistry, not use electricity. Unfortunately at the time they were promoting coal as the carbon source, but the idea is sound. A good option for jet fuel.

The US has enjoyed its petrodollar hegemony for about seventy years now. But peak oil has come and gone, so now we just have entrenched interests fighting over scraps.

[ryanodonnell]

This is so obvius and i tell everyone nuclear would stop all the environmental damage, and i am met with the now classic trademark: “dangerous conspiracy/harmful misinformation.”

[Blackearthexcavationandtiling]

Based on research I've concluded - nuclear is more expensive per lifespan KW vs wind or solar ... no political agenda, just a reply based on output / vs cost ...

[brawndo]

Thorium only otherwise you're just setting up a long series of accidents.

[mestinks]

Renewable lecky is cheaper than nuclear, nuclear has a 10 year build time and no one wants it built near them, where it's needed and then there's the waste issue.

[panzerveps]

Why go for the more difficult and expensive route instead of electrifying?
Just because gasoline is more 'Murica?
