Ah, your special. Idiot.
They only support Nuclear Power for Iran.
How many years will this shovel ready job take to put a new power plants online from the ground up? Design, clearances, construction, etc.
It IS a regulatory problem.
Texas has just received an emergency order to suspend pollution restrictions on the non-green energy plants (just as California got last year).
No mention of Thorium power.
We should be pursuing nuclear as well
I can see you are of a like mind.
We should be the world leader in this. It would be good for industry, trade, the economy, and the whole world.
The USA should have the patents, designs, and vigorously market them.
We should do with modular Thorium Reactors and Pebble Bed reactors what our aviation industry did with jet airliners since the late Fifties.
Any discussion of energy must begin with the assumption that the real goal is to cripple the US economy so the New World order can be installed.
CHINA PLANS TO BUILD OVER 900 COAL-FIRED POWER PLANTS IN THE NEXT TEN YEARS!
INDIA PLANS TO BUIlDING OVER 800 COAL-FIREKD POWER PLANTS IN THE NEXT 19 YEARS!
The WHOLE WORLD plans on building thousanda and thousands of coal-fired power [lants.
America with power and automated manufacturing would be unbeatable. THAT’S THE REAL ISSUE HERE,
And that’s why they don’t want us TO use nuclear either— Becausue it would work. Any discussion aboutneeds to be put into context. AMERICA FIRST! SCREW THE GLOBALISTS.
“modular Thorium reactors. It is crazy that we are not doing so”
Better read the Wikipedia article on Liquid Fueled Thorium Reactors.
Not just plants but almost all life, humans included, are built from carbon recently extracted from the trace CO2 in the air. Humans are 18% atmospheric carbon, although plants do the carbon capture for us.
Carbon dating works because free CO2 in the atmosphere is hit by cosmic rays turning some of it into radioactive carbon-14. The ratio of decaying radioactive carbon in something tells roughly how recently it was alive.
Quite the article. Did I miss any show stoppers?
“Quite the article. Did I miss any show stoppers?”
Only show slower-downers. The various reactor designs are competing with each other.
Investments in nuclear energy could help solve the economic and climate crises:
A return to logic and reason, might do even more and far far cheaper.
Oh, wait, what climate crises? Economic is another story all together.
true, although something to eat that is carbonaceous could be considered a cancer cause or decidedly inedible.
