So for nuclear power to be successful you just have to change human nature and politics to secure long term investment. And do so in countries that cannot even figure out how to properly fund education.
- slt2021 2y agothe fact that we allowed non-technical people with liberal arts education, who have no concept of physics and energy, to make nuclear a political issue is a big failure. Plus oil rich countries lobbying LNG as a greener alternative for nuclear is another fail
- 7952 2y agoBut it is not within your gift to control human nature or suppress politics. Or at least I hope its not. A good design/proposal/plan considers human factors. And energy production is not some science experiment where you can control all the baseline conditions. It exists within a complex mix of economy, environment, social system, manufacturing etc. There is no scientific method for navigating that. And your industry will probably ignore it if there was. Politics is all we have for deciding complex interrelated questions.
