I’ve always wondered why not put an obscene amount of nuclear power underground in the deserts of Nevada and then distribute that across the west coast and maybe even middle America?
I guess the physics of power loss make it uneconomical?
- maxerickson 3y agoThe transmission isn't the problem, extracting the energy from the reaction is the problem. Nuclear plants are mostly located near abundant water because the water is a key component of the energy extraction.
