Cleaner than than the air compared to what? Coal? No shit. How about the cost compared to solar and wind? Oh, don't want to talk about that? I wonder how much

How about the cost compared to solar and wind? Oh, don't want to talk about that? I wonder how much nuclear waste solar and wind creates.
- p_l 6y agoInterestingly enough, CO2g per W of energy is considered much higher (4 times?) for PV than for nuclear, at least in common statistics used to evaluate power plant emissions (12 gCO2eq/kWh for nuclear, 11g for wind, 24g for hydro and 45g for solar - source:IPCC2014). Most nuclear waste can be reprocessed and burned further down (that's the strategy that was used by France). A big issue with that is the effective voiding of non-proliferation treaty by, among other, USA - nothing scares them more than a country running plutonium economy, thus proposals of designs with remote kill switches operated by USA and other imperialistic moves like it.
