Trump's administration bringing back nuclear energyWait what
That is honestly wild to me, I thought nuclear energy was done forever and solar would be the future investment.It is wild. But Republicans dont care about science, logic, etc. Theyre just a death cult feeding from the trough of coal and nuclear industry corruption.
i'll believe it when i see it. no private company is investing money in new nuclear power plants and the modular nuclear that is being blown up by techbros is bullshit.Have you read this story yet?
Wait whatHes putting cesium back in your shrimp because the nuclear industry donates a lot of money to Republicans.

Nuclear power is great, I would actually welcome more of it.
Kerping one existing plant operating to power A.I is not bringing back Nuclear.That was in response to no private company investing in any plants when clearly there are. Criticizing the details of that effort is another matter.
Its wasting what we already have.
Bringing back nuclear would be getting multiple new plants while freezing A.I off the grid entirely.
Reference to I for one, welcome our nuclear disaster overlords?No. Nuclear power is great and we should have more of it.
Kerping one existing plant operating to power A.I is not bringing back Nuclear.that doesn't fix a damn thing. that's just a pointless waste of power, and when the ai bubble bursts there's no damn way they'll keep the power plant open.

It would be pretty wild if dude was like "I'm bringing back coal!" as well although I could have sworn I heard that, but it might have been a skit or even SNL style sketch.You best start believing in SNL skits, Miss Turner.
I would very much prefer nuclear energy over some of the current forms. Solar would still be better, but its a step up.

Youre in one.
Nuclear power is great, I would actually welcome more of it.Agreed. It was a mistake to have a lull in construction of new nuclear power plants.
Preferring nuclear energy over say, fossil fuels is wild
Preferring nuclear energy over say, fossil fuels is wildCoal waste is significantly higher in volume, more detrimental to the environment, more harmful to people, and more radioactive than nuclear waste.
In the 90s media Nuclear power plants were considered like the worst thing ever because of the waste it generated.Anti-nuclear propaganda was wildly successful in making nuclear power plants seem like horrific hair-trigger bombs waiting to explode and take out cities and that produce massive oceans of toxic sludge that kills and mutates everyone and thing.
In the 2020s, it is considered eco friendly.

As someone who has worked at a power plant on year 27 now (literally at work right now) and was in the Navy and studied nuclear power and was in power plant/engineering for 5 years I always though nuclear should have been concentrated on more and I never believed solar or wind would be anything but supplemental contributions in small amounts. But Chernobyl and the close call at Three Mile Island scared the fuck out of people and they rode that fear for decades.
Also in my state Google is paying to have a plant that was previously shutdown reopened and will be reactivated in 2029. So while it is an existing plant yes it is a plant that had shut down and is being renewed and expanded. So not brand new from scratch, but still a new plant.
How do you deal with nuclear waste byproduct?
Preferring nuclear energy over say, fossil fuels is wildStop drinking the Greenpeace/Sierra Club Kool-Aid. There is absolutely nothing wrong with nuclear energy.
