If there is one chart that you look at it today you should make it this one from the American Enterprise Institute (AEI).
Using data from the United States Department of Energy, it takes 79 solar workers to produce the same amount of electric power as one coal worker. It also takes 79 solar workers to produce the same amount of electric power as two natural gas workers.

Are you seriously asking that?
Because?
Geez, do you want a 1000 dollar monthly power bill?
I could go on for a long time on why this doesn’t work. I have a lot of experience, but I fear you won’t get it if you can’t even grasp the basic concept.

While this list is not complete, it demonstrates the fun you and your family can have at home while making BOOM!!
So bottoms up everyone!
I have heard that one teaspoon of Coal through combustion will heat the average house in America for 8 seconds...
through fission a teaspoon of Uranium will make enough energy to heat the average home for 8 months.
The first nuclear sub (the Nautilus) traveled over 60,000 miles on the first fueling of it's reactor.
That's energy density!
Because writing “Boom” makes people notice and click in such greater numbers.
.
No, uranium is trouble density.
We lack the ability to live with the consequences of nuclear energy; that should be stupendously obvious to everyone by now.
Fukushima and Chernobyl are small examples of what living with uranium is all about.
.
Let’s try Thorium...
Sorry. I read too fast and took your comment as opposite of what you meant (the economically unfeasible (long term) nature of a lot of “renewable” energy stuff). That I get.

I feel alive.
Fukushima and Chernobyl are small examples of what living with uranium is all about.
The Fukushima reactors are an old design (1950s) to which the Japanese failed to make improvements and updates that similar reactors in the US have.
Chernobyl a very bad design Soviet design which was operated outside of its design bases. Chernobyl not similar to any US designed commercial plant.
Since Fukushima the Nuclear Power Plants in the US have made a lot of site improvements to make them better able to survive Beyond Design Bases Events.
Using these plants to plaster nuclear plants in the US as unsafe is reasoning more at home on the Mother Earth News website.
.
Every little pile of dense fissionable material will require constant attention far into the future.
Its all a temptation for terrorists that wish to hold freedom hostage.
You’re blind and gullible.
Light Water Reactors are a military development shoehorned into commercial service. They require military precision in executing the procedures for operation, to achieve a proper safety record. Unfortunately, the corporate world has different priorities; and, runs operations to achieve a divergent set of objectives.
The fuel dissolved in a molten salt carrier variant of reactor was operated in the 50’s through the late 60’s at the Oak Ridge, Tennessee National Lab facility. Last man out of the lab Friday afternoon basically pulled-the-plug, and like bathwater down the drain, sent the fuel into a storage tank over the weekend. Monday morning the fuel was returned to the reactor core, allowing resumption of operation for the weeks work. Control and safety were inherent in the design.
Relative to the LWR, the MSR didn’t conserve enough of the generated plutonium to support a weapons program. Also, the LWR had time to develop a cadre of entrenched support between industry seeking to cash in on civilian projects; and, former military holding influential regulatory postings. Alvin Weinberg’s development wasn’t favored in this circle.

Maybe for Russia and Japan but the US has a great track record especially the US Navy.
Do you suggest we go back to burning dung and living in caves?
.
The US navy has lost several nuke subs, cause unknown.
.
Lets try Thorium...

THIS
I think you overestimate the abilities of terrorist.
A nuclear weapon requires upwards of 80% enrichment. Nuclear reactors use enrichment of no more than 4%. Commercial reactor fuel would be on no use to a terrorist.
The technology to enrich Uranium to weapons grade is only available to national governments due to the expense and power requirements.
Terrorist have much easier and less expensive means to terrorize the public.
I suspect they sank.
.
You hand wavers are the nation’s biggest problem.
.
.
Pretty good guess.
They certainly didn’t head for Uranus.
