There's really no excuse for developed leaders to not be pushing LFTR reactors and more research into increasing the efficiency of nuclear.

Improving Nuclear and improving batteries should be the largest priorities in my eyes in the current and long term.

Nuclear has the ability to deliver large sums of power that other renewables just can't compete with and battery tech improving by default will increase the efficiency of renewables itself.


I have far less faith in LFTR than in fusion, even though fusion is still in the experimental phase.

LFTR tech has many of the problems that standard fission tech has too. Fusion eliminates many of them (but has its own issues). Fusion just seems like the more durable solution.

Humans are careless defacators. Are you becoming an environmentalist?

I would like the planet to a habitat even after humans were done.

A lot of idiots believe that the Earth was a gift to humans made by God so it's okay to treat it like s*** because exploiting a resource like that can't be wrong because God can't be wrong. Tons of projection in the sentiment. But if God put oil on Earth for humans then fracking to get to it is okay. Creating explosions to make energy that can never be turned off is okay. It just does not matter that we have no long-term plans to deal with these problems that aren't even part of the natural world.

because easily harnessed energy isn't as profitable as the ones that are hard to get
it just so happens that the ones that are harder to get make a huge mess. collateral damage


Nuclear energy isnt profitable

You need to stop posting here... youre obviously clueless

it's actually the opposite... we should take care of the earth to honor god

Been reading about solar flares and apparently a big one could act like a giant EMP that takes down the electrical grid

If the electrical grid goes down it would be chaotic...

Don’t nuclear power plants rely on the electrical grid to keep the reactors cool? If they don’t have enough backup power then we’d have nuclear meltdowns all over the place?


The odds of a flare that large happening in our lifetime is tiny. It would have to be stupid big.

We must shut down the Mako reactors. We all know what happens if we don't...
