"Is nuclear energy green" Sabine Hossenfelder
- someguydave 4y agoI respect Sabine but I am skeptical about the paper she puts forth about limited uranium supplies. See the late Prof. MacKay’s work on the subject, considering fast breeder reactors to reuse the fuel and ocean extraction of uranium: https://www.withouthotair.com/c24/page_164.shtml https://www.withouthotair.com/c24/page_164.shtml
- fyvhbhn 4y agoI am talking about current tech, not Future tech
- someguydave 4y agoBreeder reactors and seawater mining are current tech. Also, this seems like an extreme luddite attitude. Imagine refusing to use a steam engine because nobody has demonstrated infinite coal reserves exist.
