France vows to build new nuclear reactors to meet climate goals. Will USA Follow France Lead ?

[Litwin]

France has vowed to build more nuclear reactors in order to be carbon neutral by 2050.

President Emmanuel Macron, making the announcement in a nationwide address on Tuesday, said it would also help the country achieve "energy independence".

Unlike many of its European neighbours, which are moving away from nuclear, France will build its first new reactors in decades....France already has 56 operational reactors and derives about 70% of its electricity from nuclear energy,

We should...but we won't.

Liberals are (by and large) wrong on this topic.

Nuclear power is extremely efficient and very clean. Obviously we should take extreme measures to protect them, but there really aren’t many negatives provided they are contained.

 

[Flash]

Nuclear is the only alternative to fossil fuels. The Environmental Wackos don't want to hear it.

Of course not, because we have moronic shitbags called Democrats in charge.

We'll see. France was vowing not to build anymore because it was running out of room for the nuclear waste in their caves. It makes me wonder what part of that changed their mind.

I don't know if they solved the "spent fuel storage NIMBY" problem yet??
They used to store nuclear waste in salt mines in NV, Yucca Mt. Then the locals fought about it for years...and had it shut down. So we need more nuclear storage sites...good luck.

"The (Yucca Mt.) project has encountered many difficulties and was highly contested by the public, the Western Shoshone peoples, and many politicians.[4] The project also faces strong state and regional opposition. The Government Accountability Office stated that the closure was for political, not technical or safety reasons.

This leaves the United States government (which disposes of its transuranic waste from nuclear weapons production 2,150 feet (660 m) below the surface at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in New Mexico)[7] and American nuclear power plants without any designated long-term storage for their high-level radioactive waste (spent fuel) stored on-site in steel and concrete casks (dry cask storage) at 76 reactor sites in 34 states.

No because Biden and his administration don't want to actually do anything, they just want to talk about doing things.

Time for The Liberal Order to act "Putin Sees European Gas Crisis as Golden Horde ’s Golden Chance"

Time for The Liberal Order to act "Putin Sees European Gas Crisis as Golden Horde ’s Golden Chance" Putin now sees a chance to capitalize on it. Putin wants to press the European Union to rewrite some of the rules of its gas market after years of ignoring Moscow’s concerns, to tilt them away...

For that school debt we should be in the 22nd century with technology and easy lifestyle. All of those well educated people who are of the Prog ways creating cheap food, cheap housing, pure cheap energy and transportation and space ways of living. Where is it?

running out of room for nuclear waste? france recycles it's nuclear waste, which like our nuclear waste, will fit inside one football field. I guess france only has one small cave, the size of one football field and will not be recycling nuclear waste?

we never stored the "waste", at yucca mountain.

I dont understand why people call it a problem, spent fuel can be burnt up in a breeder reactor which will turn it into new fuel for another cycle. Sounds like we can reuse the "waste" at least twice. Three cycles of of one fuel bundle. Sounds great.

As far as disposal, we simply need to design a reactor that consumes 100% of the fuel, and we have.

Long term storage? Leave it one site, what does that hurt?

This is true. An additional problem is the transport of the nuclear waste. Ask a community if they want trains carrying nuclear waste to go through their towns and you get a big “no way.”

I don’t disagree that nuclear power plants are a very valuable energy source and should be considered as a tool for clean energy.
