      Or we could just start building out nuclear power infrastructure. But solving the energy problem is not even a tertiary concern for you and your ilk, and you know it. https://twitter.com/_leftcat/status/1060378370330906624 …

      - nuclear power is too expensive - there's not enough available uranium to get most electric power from current-style nuclear plants for that long - using uranium more efficiently would be more expensive and less safe - uranium from seawater isn't practical

      - Not if you get rid of some of the really dumb regulatory burdens and amortize over the decades-long service life of a plant - Uranium is not the only fissionable - Once again, not if you amortize the costs. More safe than leaving perfectly good burnable material in ponds.

      The primary concerns around breeder reactors are weapons proliferation anyway, not anything relating to radiological incidents. This is a security problem more than a safety problem, and there's already literally TONS of the stuff out there. It's a 70s cold war argument.

      i never understood the proliferation thing, like....US/FR/PRC/UK/RU have nukes already and everyone's ok with that so why are breeder reactors in any way problematic in those countries?

      Because there are countries that would buy material, and that provides more opportunities to steal it? Anyway, breeder reactors are less safe, and PWRs have *barely* been safe enough for people to tolerate them! *I* consider safety of breeders a bigger issue than proliferation.

      Nuclear incidents are primarily area denial, the main factor is placing the plants in the right places just in case something happens. Nature largely doesn't care about higher background, the Chernobyl and Kyshtym incidents (not to mention Nevada...) are proof of this.

      nuclear has better deaths/kwh than solar or wind, also solar is kinda shit-tier in terms of land usage and reliability

          also majority-nuclear is not incompatible with reality, FR has done it, majority-solar/wind is a fancy way of saying "ayyy hi GE how about selling us some nice aeroderivative gas turbines because we need electricity 24/7"

          French nuclear was government spending for nukes to deter a Soviet invasion, which was successful. If America could build nuclear plants today at its own past construction costs, then they'd be a lot more practical.

          I'm referring to the massive expansion of FR civilian nuclear power prompted by and after the 1973 oil crisis, by which time FR already had developed and deployed nuclear weapons

          First time I went by that site and it was active I was riding my motorbike from San Fran to Vegas, probably about 7 hours in the saddle and pretty haggard. The WTF IS THAT was massive. It does look very strange and interesting.

          No one cares about land use in useless southwestern deserts. Reliability is also pretty great in deserts. HVDC is a thing. Million volt lines to SF/LA. Recall the deserts you fly over on the way there. Less than 300 miles distant.
