Mini nuclear reactor airlifted

The could be if they had these power sources.

Sure, but at a significantly inflated cost. Why would that be worth it?

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

If that’s the best you can do, then you don’t really have much.

Poor people freezing to death in a Chicago winter because they relied on solar would be a very big thing.

 

[Marener]

Like the EV boondoggle. Billions wasted on a fool's errand

EVs are quite popular and are likely going

False dilemma.

Solar isn't the answer to energy problems. Neither is wind, they have a niche but they're not the answer

It's true, Chicago is mostly powered with nuclear, coal and natural gas.

Thankfully.

That's why automakers are scaling down EVs after losing literally billions

Dude it's obvious you're clueless on about every subject you try to enter.

Because building a good EV isn’t as simple as most brands thought.

So a lot of car companies built a lot of shitty EVs that no one wanted.

You're catching on, slow but sure.

It's all part of the green scam... you fell for it

Actually the closer I look at it. The more it looks like these reactors have only military applications, because of their tremendous price.
Such as something NASA could put on the moon or mars, to power a colony there.

Do you remember how much LCD/Plasma TVs used to cost?

Is there some disease where you dipshits can’t say things clearly?

Lots of people love their EVs, but that doesn’t mean all EVs are good.

Tesla sells a ton of model Ys but almost no cyber trucks.

It sounds very helpful for niche military applications but small modular nuclear reactors make no sense for commercial development.

The make all the sense in the world

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Do you remember how much LCD/Plasma TVs used to cost?

When introduced in the 90s about 10k. Excellent point

They don’t. Cost per kWh is not competitive.

LOL, ya think?

Does the cyber truck happen to cost a lot more than the Model Y by any chance?

What are Small Modular Reactors (SMRs)?

Small modular reactors (SMRs) are advanced nuclear reactors that produce up to 300 MW(e) of low-carbon electricity, which is about one-third of the generating capacity of traditional nuclear power reactors.

Eye-popping new cost estimates released for NuScale small modular reactor

NuScale and the Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems (UAMPS) announced costs of a 462-megawatt small modular reactor (SMR) have risen dramatically

Have you seen the price per kWh in Germany since they went all in on wind and solar and shut down all their nuke plants?

Very competitive, eh?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Any reactor for use on mars or the moon would be considerably different than this. The engineering challenges are very different.

How so? Tell us oh master of nuclear engineering!
