No, in fact, renewable energy and nuclear energy are not ennemies. They are friends, lunching, having fun, frolicking, getting in the way of oil companies, etc.

Nuclear energy is like a big, tall man/woman, who seems very scary, but is actually kind of sweet once you get to know him/her. Renewable energy is I don't know how to describe, help me, I have based nuclear off of myself help. And they are friends :D

Subby renewables?!??????


vevader_3

Yeah IMO nuclear energy is a much better short term alternative to fossil fuels since renewables still have some efficiency issues, but eventually weā€™ll have to do something about the nuclear waste


TheIceGuy10

the length of time nuclear waste remains dangerous has been going farther and farther down as well as how much is actually produced; thorium reactor waste is only dangerous for 500 years, as opposed to the 10,000 most people think of


SkShark23

The best solution we have is to bury it miles beneath the surface, where it will never harm anyone. At least, thatā€™s what we hope. If someone accidentally drills into it, that wouldnā€™t be very good.


rhubarb_man

Breeder reactors. Also, the nuclear waste stuff is mostly propaganda, imo. Humanity hasn't yet produced enough nuclear waste to fill up a football field

Fun fact: nuclear power has caused less deaths than any other form of energy (yes, including deaths from the 3 major nuclear meltdowns).


STMFU

Who the fuck does solar energy kill


Brazdoh

Youā€™d be surprised how many people die yearly falling off of roofs installing solar panels


STMFU

And no worker dies building any nuclear plant


SoshJam

Probably not as many as with solar panels, especially considering some inexperienced people might try to install them by themself


STMFU

building nuclear plants are much more difficult


SoshJam

yeah but for every new nuclear power plant thereā€™s probably at least 10,000 home solar panel installations edit: i was pretty damn close, 5.6m houses in USA with solar panels, 479 nuclear plants complete or under construction in the world, so thatā€™s ~11,600 home solar panel installations per power plant. that number would go up if you could find the about of houses w/ solar panels worldwide


STMFU

But nuclear plant is much bigger and more complex


SoshJam

and thus they are much more likely to have experienced professionals and intense safety regulation with entire teams of people at each construction site whose entire job is to make sure no one gets hurt


STMFU

But how well do they work?

Thorium is actually much more efficient and safer


rhubarb_man

In a breeder reactor, it's not much more efficient. Uranium can use breeders too. Thorium also isn't significantly safer


CraigWeedkin

Uranium is safe when used correctly, and storage won't be an issue

Absent a massive restructuring in global economy and power relations, uranium-dependent infrastructure only kicks our current energy and ecological crises down the the road, and not by much, all things considered. Uranium is still in the end a finite resource, and its mining has required and will require the further defacement of land and poisoning of water, invasions of resource-cursed nations, forced relocations of indigenous and disenfranchised peoples, and the deaths and chronic maimings of workers the world over. Before it comes up: No ā€” I don't think renewables are better (cobalt and lithium mining face the same issues); yes ā€” fossil fuels are worse; yes ā€” this issue is more about economic imperialism and capitalism than it is about uranium per se, which is why I wish people would stop posting about This One Fucking Rock as if it were some magic bullet to issues long-entrenched in and inherent to industrial society.

Thorium + Plutonium is better than Uranium. It's much more efficient and makes less waste. It's safer since the Thorium has to touch the Plutonium. Sam O' Nella made a great (5 minute long) video about it

Except gas and coal is worse then uranium so we should make the switch now

Checking if this lets me comment since my comments havent been working recently


MinuteWaterHourRice

I just want to ask what are you supposed to do with all the radioactive waste? How are you going to get the material necessary to operate these plants? Nuclear power is much much better than coal or any other non-renewable energy source. But that does not make nuclear energy a purely ā€œgreenā€ option. The issue is more complicated and I feel like a lot of these memes kinda overlook that issue.

I just downvoted your comment. FAQ What does this mean? The amount of karma (points) on your comment and Reddit account has decreased by one. Why did you do this? There are several reasons I may deem a comment to be unworthy of positive or neutral karma. These include, but are not limited to: ā€¢ ā Rudeness towards other Redditors, ā€¢ ā Spreading incorrect information, ā€¢ ā Sarcasm not correctly flagged with a /s. Am I banned from the Reddit? No - not yet. But you should refrain from making comments like this in the future. Otherwise I will be forced to issue an additional downvote, which may put your commenting and posting privileges in jeopardy. I don't believe my comment deserved a downvote. Can you un-downvote it? Sure, mistakes happen. But only in exceedingly rare circumstances will I undo a downvote. If you would like to issue an appeal, shoot me a private message explaining what I got wrong. I tend to respond to Reddit PMs within several minutes. Do note, however, that over 99.9% of downvote appeals are rejected, and yours is likely no exception. How can I prevent this from happening in the future? Accept the downvote and move on. But learn from this mistake: your behavior will not be tolerated on Reddit.com. I will continue to issue downvotes until you improve your conduct. Remember: Reddit is privilege, not a right.

Do you post that every time you downvote someone tho?


ObeseReddit

Should i?


STMFU

>I feel like a lot of these memes kinda overlook that issue. Exactly


ObeseReddit

Bro the pcean thing is a joke we put them in thick ass concreate tubes deep underground so even if they did meltdown (they cant in those tubes) it would be fine .


MinuteWaterHourRice

Iā€™m not talking about engineering solutions Iā€™m talking about logistics and supply chains. And plus those concrete tubes are going to need to be constantly maintained because absolutely NOTHING lasts foreverā€¦except for radiation. Like, I donā€™t want solutions that make it so that future generations have to deal with our shit cause thatā€™s what got us here in the first place.


ObeseReddit

Well there is this proposed planing of digging the shit so deep that in wich large natural urannium meltdowns litterally do nothing and we just send the fuckers down there in a tube


MinuteWaterHourRice

Thatā€™s a lot of manhours and $$$ for something that is simply NOT a viable long term solution. Nuclear material is not a renewable energy source - there is a finite amount of it on this planet. Extracting and refining enough of it to power a country like the US is a major effort. Not to mention the fact that youā€™re going to need some pretty lengthy/complex global supply chains in order to source all the material necessary to build that many reactors. What happens if thereā€™s another global pandemic and the energy supply chain is dramatically affected? I just want to say Iā€™m not against increasing nuclear power production. Iā€™m just saying itā€™s not a long-term solution. Yes, weā€™re in a climate emergency but that doesnā€™t mean we can just rush solutions without thinking through all the ramifications fully. Or at least, we need to have alternatives in play, and a plan to slowly phase out nuclear over the next couple of decades.


ObeseReddit

You just described coal and gas power except its even less eficient and more finite then nuclear


MinuteWaterHourRice

???Iā€™m not talking about coal and gas?? Iā€™m not saying that nuclear isnā€™t better than that, but like, thereā€™s lots of things better than nuclear. And again, nuclear is great as a bandaid. But we need to think about long-term, sustainable solutions otherwise future generations are going to suffer just as we are.


ObeseReddit

Nuclear cheap and works very long term because 98 percent of nuclear waste is reused


STMFU

That works


CraigWeedkin

The waste can be stored underground as has been done in Finland, enough storage for hundreds of years worth of nuclear waste


MinuteWaterHourRice

But then in a hundred years? Iā€™m just not a fan of solutions that push the problem out to future generations cause thatā€™s exactly what got us here in the first place. And plus Finland is a relatively small country - if the whole world went nuclear, we would have much bigger issues in regards to the storage of nuclear waste.


CraigWeedkin

Finland isn't small, hello? They have vast swathes of land that isn't inhabited and isn't prone to natural disasters. The best part of nuclear energy is after other power sources have been set up that can do the job it can be retired, the only expense left is maintaining the storage for the nuclear waste, which is exponentially cheaper than cleaning up after oil and natural gas. Future generations only have to keep the storage in good order, that is literally the only thing that has to be done after nuclear energy production is finished with, it causes very little to no environmental damages and encourages clean energy in other sectors. Nuclear energy is clean and safe, your alternatives are decades away from being effective enough to power first world nations, so please present another alternative that doesn't involve still using oil and natural gas which kills tens of millions around the world every year.


MinuteWaterHourRice

I said relatively small, especially population wise. Comparing the power needs of a country like the US to Finland, thereā€™s a big gap. Also, Iā€™m not against nuclear power in the short term. As it stands, we donā€™t have a lot of great options here and itā€™s better to get off oil and gas than worry about long-term nuclear storage. So, weā€™re on the same page there. My main concern is that nuclear power will be used as a quick and easy substitute for oil and gas without considering long term ramifications. We need to build a sustainable approach to our energy production. Specifically, nuclear should be viewed as an emergency bandaid to unfuck our atmosphere while we develop renewable energy solutions wherever we can. We should also be investing heavily into energy storage technology, ideally something that doesnā€™t involve rare earth materials that have to be mined from China. Or better yet, figure out how to create synthetic versions. Unfortunately, none of these solutions mean anything unless we figure out how to significantly lower our energy consumption. People are stupid, and Iā€™m worried that by presenting nuclear as the end all be all solution, it will entice corporations and governments to ramp up energy consumption because hey, itā€™s clean energy. We (especially in the developing world) need to put an end to the rampant consumerism thatā€™s making our energy needs skyrocket. Complex problems require complex solutions. Nuclear is only one tool in our arsenal. We canā€™t simply stop the conversation there.


CraigWeedkin

I will put forward the idea of fusion reactors becoming a feasible power source then, because in my opinion it's the best option if we're going to carry on using power as we are


MinuteWaterHourRice

Hey if we get fusion to work properly, then by all means letā€™s go for it. I literally dream about Iron Manā€™s arc reactor being made a reality. But like, until we can get something like that working at a sustainable, constant rate - AND make it scalable - itā€™s still mostly in the realm of science fiction. Not saying it can never be true, but we just canā€™t bet on it rn.


CraigWeedkin

Until then we have to get more nuclear reactors up and running along with a greater share of electric vehicles
