Nuclear is the one way to solve carbon emissions with nothing but money. Renewables, storage etc, these are not quite solved problems. But we could just throw money at nuclear and get it done. The world was once building reactors like there’s no tomorrow, surely we could restart that.
Yeah it’s expensive but so is sea level rise and dealing with hurricanes.
And safety? Pollution from burning coal kills so many people every year, I’m slowly beginning to think nuclear safety is a bit if a non issue, even it a plant blows up every now and then.
- RealityVoid 5y agoOh, I am on board with you here! One thing I will object to though - the claim that "one way to solve carbon emissions with nothing but money" - mostly because money is a proxy for human effort and physical resources. "Just money" is not really a thing, at least how I see it. An human effort is a great thing to spent and physical resources as well, but there is a cutoff point where "just money" doesn't cut it, because the underlying resource that money is supposed to buy is simply not enough of around. But that is not the case with nuclear energy. So sorry for the deviation.
