That does not really answer my question, does it?
Of all the possible places to build nuclear plants, why go put them in a place that has plenty of sunshine and tons of seismic activity?
No matter how favorable the odds, why play those when there are places that could be even better?
- olivermarks 4y agoI suspect you, like many, are fixated on the idea that solar/wind power is viable as primary energy sources and therefore haven't been taking nuclear seriously. Assuming the future successful invention and deployment of battery power storage to provide a consistent 11,000 Megawatt-hours per day (a fairly typical large city supply amount), what do you think would happen to those enormous ganged up batteries in an earthquake? https://battlebornbatteries.com/lithium-ion-battery-puncture/ https://battlebornbatteries.com/lithium-ion-battery-puncture...
