The last time I talked with some people in the nuclear industry (that was before fukushima) I was kind of excited for GenIV reactors. They destroyed that enthusiasm by telling me that they're still decades off.
The thing is that we need to build low-CO₂ plants now and at least in the west solar and especially wind seem to be the way to go currently.
- AstralStorm 10y agoI'd take your advice 50 years ago. It is way too late for such milquetoast measures now. Even best coal plants given perfect fuel produce a lot of CO2 per MWh. This not counting mining and energy required to purify coal. Oil is even harder to clean up and there is just not enough natural gas.
