Sing it with me: “Nuclear power is not a solution!” 🎶🎵🎶
Besides that nuclear power is dangerous on so many levels…
Here is the math to consider:
Nuclear only produces 3.6% of today’s power consumption
80% of today’s power consumption is still fossil based
Recoverable Uranium would last for only ~200 at CURRENT PROD RATE! (Generous estimate)
If we would want to replace fossil with nuclear, Uranium would only last for 9 YEARS.
I say it again: 9 YEARS ! After that time, you can’t produce any more power with your plants, leaving you with a huge problem. We need an energy system that will serve us good for the foreseeable future.
The median time for building a nuclear plant is 8 years. Getting all the planning and approval done can bring this timeline up to 20 years. Much to slow. We need solutions now!
Guys/Girls, stop reproducing the talking point of plant owners and capitalistic energy providers. Nuclear power is not a solution for the global scale problem of energy production.
Totally! Some cool andvancement in a technology like that would bring us much closer to “easier” renewable energy sources. And I hope they will find solution for our (more distant) future.
However, we can’t just wait for it. We need solutions NOW - and they exist in conventional renewable energy technologies. I mean, we have that massive fusion reactor in a save distance from our planet that delivers huge amounts of energy to us for free. We just have to tap into it. 😇

I’m confident nuclear fusion is the way to go, but we may already be too late :(
Hey maybe some room temperature superconductor will come in clutch but it’s not looking so great.

Yes let’s build a Dyson sphere! XD
