      Request for back of the envelope calculation: how much less global warming would there be now if the US had always generated as much of its power with nuclear reactors as France?

      I think there are solid reasons to believe that there is at least as much room for improvement in the nuclear industry as SpaceX demonstrated there was in the aerospace industry.

      For sure! YC has funded several nuclear startups and hopes to fund more.

          Note. Countries with the highest of #nuclear #energy are Not the least contributors to #globalwarming 😉 My2c: Uranium/Hydrogen are not the way to a carbon free world🌍 What we gain on 'clean' (energy) is lost on 'safety' or 'sustainability'. There are affordable alternatives.pic.twitter.com/Euvp2nsfPB

          What is the context though? Would they contribute even more without nuclear? Generally contributing a lot doesn't equate to it being due to using nuclear power.

          Indeed. That's exactly why I only argumented on these countries with high nuclear power production not contributing in #globalwarming reduction, since i cannot prove accurately for its increase. I suspect, but decided to play it safe 😇

          It would be nice if you knew though. My own take is, that the demand for electricity is likely not going down. Due to technological devices in homes & automation. So, you'd have to have tech that produces the same amount or electricity & emits less CO2, to blame nuclear power.

          Just to clarify smthg though: i am not blaming nuclear power for global warming. Causes are known and easy to 'fix', we all are simply not ready for the tough choices that'd impact of current quality of life -- like trading big horse-powers with smaller, slower cars for eg. 1/2

          Replying to @DesireYavro @4lm4c3 and

          I am stating that w overconsumption/overuse /overproduction we allow ourselves thx to cheaper (not anymore) energy sources, is neither sustainable nor a 'free pass'. Most centrals in France & elsewhere are way beyond their lifetimes, EPR is a €€ hole, Fusion is still scifi.

          I agree. I really only wanted to see if you actually had something. But if there is nothing, then we have to go to things that actually work in reducing emissions/electricity demand. However, if nuclear is still a better option, then we should also still use it.

          Very true, pragmatic choices. Subjecting they/we work on long-term alternatives in parallel. Else we might end-up as with diesel vs electric dilemma --politics and markets pushing for it for 10s, until global scandal changes course of things.
