We need to massively scale up green hydrogen production under basically any scenario where climate change is avoided. Hydrogen is an input for many industrial and agricultural processes.

AP1000 has a water tank above the reactor, and can cool itself for 72 hours without electrical power or human action. This design probably would've prevented the Fukushima meltdowns. Ideally, reactors should be designed to transition

You're suggesting an electromagnetic phenomenon other than visible light? I suppose that would be comparably interesting.

Burning methane is not rational if you value living in a stable climate. The atmosphere doesn't care whether it came from a democratic or autocratic country.

Are you implying that burying carbon waste is NOT an unsolved problem?

It is much cheaper to bury a football stadium's worth of nuclear waste, than an entire atmosphere's worth of carbon waste.

The title should say "nuclear energy is more expensive than renewables and fossil methane ", based on these quotes: > the report calculates the additional cost of making variable renewables reliable at shares of 60, 70, 80, an

Maybe it's worth spending energy to save mass, because energy is delivered by the sun, whereas mass has to be launched. There's probably a thrust vs. delta-v tradeoff for different elements.
