The US has always been the number one exporter of freedom we have been number two exporter of hypocrisy for almost as long.

Federation is its own magical fuckup. Look at my comments for a recent example.

US Navy reactors are run by 18-year-olds supervised by 25-year-olds so far pretty good track record.

Set them on fire first for the aesthetic

While I agree that we need to pursue energy storage solutions In addition to investing in renewables and nuclear. I feel that it would be staggeringly inefficient to have to harvest and store and then redistribute power at the scale you are describing. The power loss and transmission alone from generation to battery to end user would be over 30% most likely. And at that point It’s far more efficient to directly energize the consumer with an on-demand source such as a nuclear power plant.

Thank you John

I don’t want to be excretingly pedantic but I mean f*** it give me a couple hundred fire alarms and I’ll have enough Americanium to start a breeder reactor.

That’s the joke, everyone is scared of a hypothetical non-viable fear and they completely ignore the current reality.

The sad part is they’re not wrong they’re just 80 to 100 years out of scope. The theory is there it’s the capacity to produce and the inability to store that kills it. Also I know I’m not convincing him. The point of comment threads like this is for the people who are uninformed and undecided as of yet.

I swear to God you’re going to kill me with an aneurysm. It’s only non-existent because of dumbasses like you. Like facts I also do not give a single fuck about your feelings. We are at a tipping point. We cannot scale renewable production to the point we would need to scale it to In a short enough time for them to be a viable solution alone. Therefore we need to continue to implement renewables while also replacing the most egregious CO2 contributors such as coal fired plants with reactors.

I like the cut of your jib

I do not think you comprehend how much power would need to be stored. We are steadily electrifying every single industry year after year we use more and more electricity to power that demand we are burning more fossil fuels than ever before while in conjunction utilizing more renewables than ever before well maintaining the same average nuclear load for the last 20 years…

That’s the easy part we’ve got plenty of ocean the hard part is building the mountain
