  • it’s the most expensive form of energy due to massive regulations

    So deregulate to the same standards Fossil Fuels are regulated at

    the power plants take way too long to build

    because of all of the red tape from your last point, as well as fossil fuel organized NIMBYS

    nuclear waste is a problem, no one wants to have it buried near their homes

    Again because disinformation spread by fossil fuel organized NIMBYS

    the fissile material is already rare and difficult to come by, mostly sourced from politically difficult regions, such as fucking Russia

    Breeder reactor

    What?

    Do you have any idea how many things we can do with basically free energy? Like for instance, desalinate and clean sea water and pump it back into our exhausted aquifers. Or use electrolysis to split some of that water and oxygen and hydrogen. Or scrub carbon from the atmosphere with gigantic manual filter aways. Or just store excess power in grid scale batteries and cycle plants on and off as needed.








  • You dolt there was never a problem with cooling the plants. The issue was that there is red tape that limits how much water the plant can discharge into the Rhine. That could have easily been addressed if the plants were just allowed to cycle more water. The higher the flow rate the colder the water will come out the other end . The water is put through a heat exchanger and then cycled back to the river. If more water can be piped through then the reactor can maintain lower temperatures.
