I’m disappointed you are spending so much time promoting Shellenbergers work. Rather than building coalitions between nuclear and renewable industries, he used his leadership to attack all forms of renewables and the nuclear industry has suffered for it.

Two words: Fukushima Daiichi; better yet, one word: Chernobyl.
-
Do you know anything about those incidents aside from the names? It would appear not.
-
Suffient to stand by my remark.
-
Three words: Three Mile Island
-
Two words: isolated events.
-
You can have one isolated event, but more than one makes them not isolated. You can't guarantee that human error and mismanagement won't occur in the future. Some people said the Titanic was unsinkable. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

These devices aren’t inherently dangerous - your most recent comment makes that clear enough; to assume that the maybe half a dozen meltdowns that led to varying levels of catastrophe and damage are the poster boy for what is to come is silly and naive.
-
No, just cautious and smart enough to look for safer, better alternatives.

Steven Pinkers’s assessment of the current state of renewable energy is not correct. Wind and Solar offer the lowest unsubsidized LCOE of any new build utility scale electricity. The deployment of GW year on year is dramatic and is bringing down carbon emissions for the sector

The word “Nuclear”
-
Needs to be rebranded as emission free fission energy.
-
That’s a mouthful but on the plus side it certainly doesn’t conjure up catastrophic images of death and destruction! Haha
-
Yeah, just fission energy instead of nuclear energy would be good.

Freedom Energy!

People suck at evaluating risk. Same reason people are afraid of flying yet willingly get into cars...

Some of us don't. Chernobyl gave Welsh lamb a really nice tang for several years afterwards.

Because the next Carrington event would render them all hazardous radioactive waste zones? That’s what worries me. You?No?

Also, I call the PVNGS dry cask storage material as future fuel, not nuclear waste. Anyone interested in thorium reactors? I worked on startup of the FFTF (Fast Flux Test Facility), a sodium cooled test reactor (didn't "breed," but had "bomb grade" reactor core). Can we get busy?
