- Octoth0rpe 5y agoFor one, it assumes the average human consumes as much electricity as the average Finn.
- somebodythere 5y agoThe average human consumes much less energy than the average Finn. (Though that number is likely to grow as the world becomes more industrialized.)
- parksy 5y agoThat's a good point, people in Finland use more per capita than 80% of the global population, so if everyone were to have the same energy standards as Finland we'd probably need more like 10k reactors and 600 per year give or take. Or we stick with the status quo, force everyone into their lane, and probably need like 3000 to 4000 reactors to serve current needs, and 150 to 200 per year. Give or take. I think that's still in the same ballpark orders of magnitude-wise.
