Nuclear is not popular because the fossil fuel industry co-opt the environmentalist to fight on their behalf. We should have better developed nuclear for the last few decades and we would be in a much better energy posture. Especially for an EV future.
- ncmncm 4y agoYou mean environmentalists have been ceded total control over all utility decisions? They can't even stop government sponsored mass wolf kills.
- robonerd 4y agoWhat would environmental organizations coopted by the fossil fuel industry care about wolves? Their ineffectiveness at anything other than stopping nuclear power plant construction is a symptom of what TrispusAttucks said.
- ncmncm 4y agoDoes it worry you at all that what you wrote makes no sense?
- Krasnol 4y agoDo you have any serious sources on this ridiculous conspiracy theory bread in Shellenbergers bubble reactor?
- SemanticStrengh 4y agoThe reason we don't have reactors that recycle nuclear wastes is because ecologists have attacked the next-gen model with a bazooka. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superph%C3%A9nix#Rocket_attack https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superph%C3%A9nix#Rocket_attack This is why we can't have nice things, the ecologists have prevented the solutions from the issues that legitimate their political existence. In germany and in the U.S the shutdown of nuclear has been a blatant lobby too.
- pfdietz 4y agoNo, the reason we don't have reactors that recycle nuclear wastes is because they are economically ludicrous. Uranium is cheap, enrichment has become cheap, so there's no incentive to reprocess for plutonium the use of which would increase the cost of fueling a reactor.
- Krasnol 4y agoI've asked for sources on OPs conspiracy. Not for even more conspiracies.
- TrispusAttucks 4y agoWow. I guess energy markets competing is a conspiracy. Pretty low bar. Here you go: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31474041 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31474041 Dig away
- Krasnol 4y ago> Since fossil fuels campaigning against nuclear is a "conspiracy theory". Here are some threads to pull on. This is not what OP said. Also: those "sources" are all right from the nuclear circle jerk...lol
- TrispusAttucks 4y agoOkay. Enjoy your alternate reality.
- TrispusAttucks 4y agoSince fossil fuels campaigning against nuclear is a "conspiracy theory". Here are some threads to pull on. -- "At the top of the list of sources of antinuclear rumblings is, not surprisingly, the fossil fuel industry itself. There’s been a long and rather nefarious history of attacks from the fossil fuel industry against both supporters of nuclear power and the industry itself. We’ve seen documented instances of the funding of ads opposing nuclear power plants, such as this one by the Oil Heat Industry opposing the construction of the Shoreham Nuclear Power Station by LILCO, using the deceptive slogan “SOLAR, NOT NUCLEAR.”" "Instead of actively engaging in the almost-expected business behaviour of criticising and opposing market competitors, they have followed a strategy of allowing surrogates to be the public faces of the opposition to nuclear energy. As anti-nuclear surrogates successfully waged battles over safety, nuclear waste, siting, financing, regulations, radiation protection and exports constraints justified by carefully stoked fears of nuclear weapons proliferation, the fossil fuel industry took advantage of a slowing competitor."
