Do you imagine a world in which nuclear reactors are as easy to mass produce as solar cells and batteries?

- Andrew_nenakhov 5y agoWe just need to produce 3-5 times more nuclear reactors than we already have to satisfy all current power demands of human civilization with a significant reserve. Doesn't look an impossible task to me.
- 7952 5y agoHow to do that quickly though? It took decades to build that existing capacity.
- Andrew_nenakhov 5y agoIf we didn't stop building plants 3 decades ago, you wouldn't have to worry. Anyway, USSR was building new plants in 3-5 years, I'm pretty sure we could get by for a decade more it would take to make 100% generated energy without burning fossil fuels.

- Andrew_nenakhov 5y agoIf tou6 want to get out of a deep pit, first thing to do is to stop digging. Humanity should stop those unbased fear-mongering against nuclear energy and start increasing the number of nuclear plants, encouraging the development of cheap, safe and reliable power generation technologies.
