total energy output per required materials over it's lifecycle. by orders of magnitude. and constant power output requiring less buffers to store electricity, hence less waste.
It's not even close in the same ballpark.
- tcfhgj 2y agostorage itself IS the buffer and will use less concrete than nuclear pp, except you want to build potential storage using concrete blocks or pumped water storage. An not every materials production implies inherent co2 emissions.
- Xelbair 2y agomost of them do, also have you heard about quantity? the amount of storage build for spent nuclear fuel+energy buffer vs buffer for just renewables aren't even in same ballpark. Just do a simple fermi estimation. Btw - the white "smoke" coming out from cooling towers of nuclear power-plant are pure water vapor. And that's not even going into MSFTs or other reactor types. just traditional ones. Honestly, such blind faith is actually hurting renewables movement by giving climate change deniers more ammo to pummel the movement with.
- tcfhgj 2y ago> the amount of storage build for spent nuclear fuel+energy buffer I meant the amount of concrete needed (nuclear ppl vs energy storage) > such blind faith is actually hurting renewables movement by giving climate change deniers more ammo to pummel the movement with. what faith? renewable vs nuclear debate has nothing to do with the question of the existence of climate change
