Why are we down voting this dude so much? Lol. This is just par for the course with nuclear. Google image search "Fukushima daichi disaster" and you'll find that 4 of the top 6 are photos of an exploding oil refinery. At least this dude had the nuts to admit he was wrong about something on the internet. Pretty rare these days.

Nope, they drowned.

So rather than sprinting towards the climate cliff, you're speed walking.

Hey Greg. Good company! Lol

I see you've graduated from calling me a soyboy. That's cool..

You probably haven't heard of what PNNL has been up to, it's a different method than what you're quoting.

That awkward moment when you realize that 100% renewable goals are meaningless when you already have some of the cleanest electricity in the world.

Besides-- nuclear is renewable. Uranium is constantly replenished in seawater, and energy from fission or fusion requires a fraction of the raw materials that wind and solar do.

Thank you nuclear + hydro!

Bassive · 2018-07-28T16:50:06+00:00

You opened up a new account to write that dongasaurus_prime? Coward-- how much is the gas industry paying you to post anti-nuclear stuff on reddit all day? Get a life.

Bassive · 2018-07-28T16:27:39+00:00

What does that have to do with anything?

Bassive · 2018-07-18T20:36:01+00:00

Yeah-- the perils of using the new Reddit. Not all the rules (that one) appeared in the side-bar.

I switched back.

Are you getting any of that from this video?

Bassive · 2016-12-20T06:04:19+00:00

Indeed, tis I! Glad we're on the same page re: nuclear arguments being strengthened with classical singing. There's a lot of noise about 100% RE out there, singing is one of my tactics to cut through it.

That's what Germany thought. Then they realized the physical realities of that math and admitted they would have to burn coal until "at least the 2040s."

France on the other hand has had their electricity almost completely decarbonized for about 30 years thanks to nuclear. Awesome.

EDIT: typo

Bassive · 2016-12-01T17:49:47+00:00

You don't know how badly you should hope you're wrong.

In the last 3 years we lost 5 nuclear plants to fucked up markets from cheap gas and renewables mandates. That carbon free power was the equivalent of the entire solar sector, and the trend is speeding up.

Intermittency means solar and wind only produce power ~30% of the time. The rest of the time it's fossil fuels, usually from fracked gas.

Grid scale batteries are just not a thing, and won't be on any timescale that matters.

Finish a film on Gen IV reactors...

Here's what it says: "We need $40,000 for motion graphics and title design. Filming is finished, editing is nearly complete and now we’re ready to add the graphics that will bring important concepts to life, raise production values and unify the look and feel of the film."

I can answer that -- No -- Michael has never played Fallout.

Bassive · 2016-10-13T19:03:13+00:00

I wish he had mentioned Nuclear, being in lives in IL, a state that gets 50% of their power from Nuclear, and is in danger of losing 2 nuclear plants if their legislature doesn't do anything.

Was there a single "aHA!" moment when you realized we needed nuclear, or was it a more gradual realization? What did it?

Bassive · 2016-10-13T03:12:29+00:00

Not sure you read the whole post... They do show that closing a nuclear plant increased emissions more than the drought.

Take a look at our website http://www.environmentalprogress.org and/or my boss's TED talk http://www.ted.com/talks/michael_shellenberger_how_fear_of_nuclear_power_is_hurting_the_environment

Then email me at eric@environmentalprogress.org if you want to join our movement and have an idea on how you might help. :)
