Depends what you mean by "inferior". A horse-drawn carriage has less carbon emissions than an automobile, doesn't it? However, that's not the sole criteria.

Depends what you mean by "inferior". A horse-drawn carriage has less carbon emissions than an automobile, doesn't it? However, that's not the sole criteria.
- neonsunset 4y agoIt seems the "horse-drawn carriage" argument is being repeated across multitude of comments posted by your account. What makes this comparison with nuclear energy even remotely viable?
- missedthecue 4y agoMuch like carriages, more modern alternatives have rendered it obsolete despite the loud voices that continually refuse to accept its eventual extinction.
- neonsunset 4y agoThe only superior potential more modern source of energy we're aware of that can match energy density, resource efficiency and carbon-free characteristics of nuclear fission is nuclear fusion. Other alternatives lose on one or more parameters, especially when it comes to environmental costs.
- missedthecue 4y agoMaximum possible energy density and resource efficiency are not really considered when designing grids.
- deepsun 4y ago> horse-drawn carriage has less carbon emissions than an automobile Is it? Especially if counting by miles of travel, I'm not sure about it. Also, if by "carbon emissions" I believe we mean "greenhouse gas emissions" -- including methane yes.
- missedthecue 4y agoHorses eat grasses which are part of the carbon cycle.
