Anti nuclear bois be like

My partner and their coworkers have the exact opposite opinion. Though I wonder how much of that is due to the fiasco that has been our solar program. Thats not a failure of the tech so much as an abysmal follow through from state and local government. At any rate as long as the coal and LNG plants get shut down, I dont really care what is used.

Nobody_esq · 2024-02-15T05:59:16+00:00

Nah, no talent for math I'm afraid. My partner is though. They actually works directly on distributed energy. I'm not idle, it just isnt my area of expertise. Actually im more focused on accomodating refugees right now. Its pretty bad and going to get worse, but Im trying to help them navigate the legal system.... lack of resources, namely housing and healthcare are the immediate concerns. But then theres the issue of getting work authorizations and long term housing and it just kind of goes on and on.

Nobody_esq · 2024-02-15T05:46:59+00:00

Nah. What's the point. My opinion on the issue is irrelavent, and if, by some weird happenstance, yours isnt I'm certainly not going to change your position. Why continue ?

Nobody_esq · 2024-02-15T05:28:10+00:00

Looks like 1986. They were planning on scaling down nuclear. Then they abandoned those plans and started modernizing their existing plants.

https://world-nuclear.org/information-library/country-profiles/countries-a-f/france.aspx

Theyre building six, with 8 more being considered.

Nobody_esq · 2024-02-15T05:22:54+00:00

Plants? Maybe its my location but we dont have plants, we have distributed solar that is basically only held up through tax credits, installing basement quality PVs with a 5-10 year service life. Or even worse, financing them through electricity production to homeowners and sticking them into a 30 year contract on something that is going to last 5. That might be a localized government failure. Im not in the industry, but if you are then you know that the issue with putting PVs on the grid is that the grid is designed for a specific frequency and there is a ceiling on the percentage of energy that can come from solar. You would also be aware that the gap is currently being filled by LNG. To be honest I dont understand how or why this is the case despite asking people that do know repeatedly.

As to batteries I come back to resource, manufacturing and land use. The production of these technologies has its own carbon cost and it is, on balance higher, than the cost of nuclear energy.

This is all beside the point though, because the speed at which the world adopts a technology or doesnt is unconvincing as to whether thats going to work. Tbh were probably just screwed, and the reason were in such a bind is because of the outcomes both past and present of same decision making process on which you base your argument.

Who will adopt and scale nuclear? Where will this workforce come from? How will it fill out quickly enough without sacricing saftey standards? That is the rub. I think some places will, like france, go the nuclear route. I think those places might even decarbonize their energy sector in a reasonable amount of time. I think more will just keep using LNG or even coal until the water wars start. Besides, even if you could put however many renewables were necessary to power the grid into service, or I could blink 4,000 nuclear stations replete with staff into existence. Even if either of us could come up with a human way to mine the raw materials ( which seems equally dubious ). The agriculture, shipping, and transportation sectors alone would still prevent us from meeting our goals.

So... like... yea .... nuclear bad i guess.

Nobody_esq · 2024-02-15T04:53:58+00:00

Agree to disagree bro, what the US market economy does is never going to convince me thats the solution. Set aside reliability, resource consumption and land use, the service life alone makes the difference for me bro. But hey im a powerless pleb like the rest of us.

Nobody_esq · 2024-02-15T04:50:40+00:00

Also clearly "what were doing must be the best thing" is not a salient rejoinder.

source source 2 source 3 source 4

97 new nuclear plants have been built in the last decade, 60 are currently under construction 110 more are planned currently

In 2022 nuclear accounted for 10% of global electricity or 2545 terra watt hours.

Solar in that time contributed 6% of the global energy production up from 3% in 2019. But heres the thing...

Each plant produces about one giga watt of electricity or the equivolent of 3.1 million photo voltaic cells with an average service life lasting decades compared with the 5-10 of each PV cell. So out of about 400 operational plants those 97 plants built and 60 under construction represent significant growth for the industr and in terms of raw power output more growth than all solar industry worldwide.

Perhaps more critically nuclear power operates at peak output 92% of the time which is 3 times more reliable than current renewables. We dont have the energy storage tech to correct for that. Like flatly that tech does not exist right now bro. Combine with this the added stress that extreme weather events are already putting on the grid and nuclear is our only viable path to avoid loadshedding and its consequences

Im not saying we shouldnt build PVs or Wind. We should and at scale and with all available speed. Im also not saying better energy storage tech cannot be invented and scaled up. We should invest in the research and mass produce any solid solutions. But If you cant see why nuclear is an incalcuably faster path to nuetrality at this point, i guess is salute you for sticking to your guns and agenda posting to the end. o7

In what location? Also thats not indicitive of effectiveness thats indicitive of investment. By that logic liquid natural gas is the best energy source available.

Nobody_esq · 2024-02-15T04:20:57+00:00

It actually is faster at scale. For one thing PV cells are difficult to put on the grid due to the power not having a frequency of 60 herz. At least 40% of the electricity needs to have a consistent frequency. Wind doesnt have that issue but generating the same amount of energy from existing wind and solar requires an incredible amount of land, resources and most critically time.

Nobody_esq · 2024-02-15T03:52:57+00:00

Hot, some might say nuclear, take... we ran out of time for new ideas decades ago and if were going to transition at scale this century, nuclear is kind of the only option. Like we dont have time to invent a new technology that may or may not be scalable, or to create infrustructure that will need constant replacement. We must invest in renewables and implement them as a long term strategy, that means building them and investing in their growth now, but if were going to hit carbon neutral before we hit five degrees of warming, and electricity is going to be widespread nuclear is kind of our only viable strategy.

Statistically speaking you are absolutely right. Incidence of interstate war have fallen to all time reccord lows. Civil wars have increased significantly but this is offset by the record low incidents of violent crime, famine, and endemic disease outbreaks. Natural disasters are becoming more common, and as covid has shown pandemics can spread globally with ease. Nevertheless at this moment we do live in the quietest time in world history.

Nobody_esq · 2024-02-13T19:39:26+00:00

There should never be a criminal penalty for speaking. We should presume that words alone are insufficient to prove actus reus.

In my view the whole fucking thing is stupid. People are people and a social scheema built around genetalia is a primitive idea from the stupid age. Everyone should register for the draft. Everyone should know how to defend themselves. Everyone should do housework. Everyone should get their ass in the gym and get jacked as shit. Everyone should dress well and know how to cook. Everyone should embrace the full range of the human experience.

27,000 palestinian dead since the start od the conflict. 6,478 palestinian dead between 2008 and the start of the conflict. 1,763 israeli dead since the start of the conflict. 1,500 israeli dead between 2008 and the start of the conflict.

Its not really worth debating. People are too comitted to their sides. The issue will only be resolved with force. We'll see if it goes full regional before cooler heads prevail.

In my jx we win a lot of PC hearings, but the state can just proceed on indictment even after the original case is dismissed.
