WhiskeyDisk posted... nuclear reactors I'm still pro-nuclear, it's safe enough - but now that solar prices have crashed there's no reason not to solar now. No matter how "good" solar is getting, it still has some major shortcomings inherent to it that don't sit well with me. You're going to lose 10% of it's efficiency as soon as its installed to dust and crap on the panels no matter how much you clean the panels. Then you have the potential difference from cell to cell that burns them out as soon as a leaf blows onto the panel for any length of time. Then you have the fact that our planet is dark for half the day. FBR/MSR/thorium reactors can be made the size of a bus to power communities at a local level, they can eat all the waste of previous generations of reactors, and if there is a failure, they pretty much just shut down rather than go critical. The only reason the technology has been suppressed (and we have manbearpig to thank in large part for that) is because it can't be used to enrich weapons grade nuclear materials and the suppression of that technology is practically a crime against humanity in my eyes. We could have been doing this 20+ years ago and we're letting France and China beat us to the punch on this technology. --- http://i.imgur.com/4fmtLFt.gif http://s1.zetaboards.com/sba/ ~there's always free cheese in a mousetrap. <cite>WhiskeyDisk posted [p:896415306] in lmao trump...
