See:
It's possible that he flips, in the same way it's possible that we get hit by a gamma-ray burst tomorrow, but I don't think it will happen in this circumstance. Three weeks ago, Mitch spoke at the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce and all he said was that the Senate will probably make changes to the Trump tax cuts and the Medicaid cuts as the House wrote them. He could have said "I don't like the bill, Trump sucks, a bloo bloo bloo bloo," but he didn't.
And this is of course where you’re wrong.
At least I know a little bit about the topic instead of just spouting off about China buying American reactors decades ago.
In my experience, this is demonstratively false. The city I'm in forces, through regulation and auditing, companies to incentivize it's workforce to use any other mode of transportation other than your automobile, most notably public transportation. Those incentives are usually monetary awards for convenience but can be any number of approved incentives.
My point exactly. Frankly I haven't heard him say much about the bill. I've heard him say more on Iran than this. I take it as conformation that he's on board, even if he's a grumpy turtle fuck. That means his buddies like Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski are too, since they share the same RINO politics practically.
I agree, because if it's cloudy and calm you will be out of luck. Aren't they both better used as supplemental power until battery / energy storage grows more efficient?
All inferior to US design.
Lol. We don't build those for a reason.
Lmao.
Thorium is hippie shit. Uranium is cheap as fuck and can be weaponized, which is good as a nuclear armed country. Also Molten salt reactors are for idiots.
they sound like rattletraps thatll go Cherynobel.
You are in fact a Chinese shill at this point. Huff paint.
Can you furnish a comprehensive list of new construction nuclear power projects in progress in the United States (beyond the initial exploration/assessment stage)?
Good! Make them bleed, or make them admit in court that they're "entertainment" and not "news" (like Fox did a couple decades ago). Then blast that to the public as loudly as you can.
Georgia for one. Pretty fucking sick too. Dropped power cost across the state. 3 mile Island is being brought back online. And multiple projects have been announced under Trump. Look up a list if you wish.
Lol that'd be great
Not reading that, but you sound gay
Your first mistake is assuming that the Chinese can develop their own useful reactors without blowing themselves up. The problem with communist societies is the bureaucrats do not like to be wrong, so if something is done incorrectly there is a political incentive to cover it up. See Chernobyl: the flaw in the Chernobyl reactor was known before it was even built, but Soviet politicians covered it up. Nuclear accidents are "virtually impossible," Soviet news said. Then there was a massive nuclear incident which, by the way, wasn't even the worst one that the Soviets suffered. The Kyshtym (AKA Mayak) disaster in 1957 was much worse, but again the communist government covered it up.
Yes, electrical grids have to rely upon a steady source of power because that's what they are built around. To be honest I don't even think wind and solar should even be a part of the larger electrical grid due to the instabilities and complexities they add that are totally unnecessary like for instance, the wind suddenly stops or clouds come in and now you need to increase the power output from gas or coal power plants to compensate asap.
Yeah, thorium reactors are great.
Ill say this until im blue in the face, its the BATTERY tech that needs to catch up.
Plutonium isn't waste. It's a weapon you fucktard.
Are those actually online (or actually under construction)? Last I'd heard they were all still mired in the typical environmentalist paperwork terrorism.
Nah, fusion's still worth chasing. They've made good progress on it; it's not just (metaphorical) hot air. They've finally achieved fusion reactions that produced a net energy output (i.e. more energy came out of it than they expended triggering it), meaning energy production via fusion is now known to be possible.
I don't see a problem with investing in Fusion energy, easy way to save money on fusion subsides is to let more reactors harvest tritium so the tritium prices go down massively and more research can be conducted so we aren't stuck 30 years away from fusion energy forever.
They can and did. Look at Hualong One or any of the newer reactors the chinks have built or are building.
Georgia is online. They are building additional reactors in the plant, but the completed one is lit up. 3 mile island is approved.
