The only people who continue to promote wind/solar are those who are ignorant of basic physics. Only nuclear can produce the levels of energy we need

[martybegan]

One can trust people while also questioning.

I don't deal in false choices.

Half hearted questioning, and of course it's not the issue with agreeing people questioning, it's the left's reaction to doubters questioning. It's like the days of old when fighting heresy, and not the good Warhammer 40k heresy jokes, but mean spirited burning at the stake equivalent treatments.

Talking about false choices is just a crutch to ignore the fact that sometimes things are a binary solution set.

So your really just a reactionary?

 

[elektra]

Unlikely but whatever.

Off the top of my head I can answer many questions you dont know to ask.

Right now I am working on the largest Fusion Reactor experiment in the world. I am working on the SPARC reactor with MIT

So your really just a reactionary?

You say that like it's a bad thing. Reacting to and opposing bad things isn't bad.

Take the trans idiocy. The common retort from many morons on this board is "fuh fuh fuh" that's all you think about "fuh fuh fuh"

Sorry, but I would rather not have to discuss something so moronic at all, but it's what the one of the causes de jure of the left seems to be these days, and to me one of the most destructive.

But the saddest thing is that they are selling these people a broken product. You can't get what you want, just a pathetic copy of it. Unless you want to be a dick-girl, and then that's not gender dysphoria, that's a fetish. And the real problem is all this when it involves minors.

Being a reactionary is a terrible thing to be stuck with. Always reacting to others and to things. Always behind. It feeds into such horrible world views.

All wind turbines are broke and need constant repair. They pollute the earth with micro-plastics

Not at all. far worse to be a progressive for progressive-ness sake, never thinking things are OK. always having to push on the boundaries even when reaching an optimal point where things work, Like the LGB's falling over the cliff for the TQ+/-nulls.

It's not reacting to everything, in my case it's reacting to stupidity, and more specifically stupidity being imposed by government or misguided do-gooders as described in my sig below.

Progressives are often reactionaries too.

You appear to be confused, as if something is tuck in your mind blocking any reception above a certain frequency -- that being reason and rationality.

I did not say all, but it is a fact thst every nuclear power plant does have ex-navy personal operating them.

I know, I have worked at half the nuclear power plants in the USA.

I can also say every nuclear plant has united states marines, as guards

It is my career, nuclear power

That's not what you said a short while ago.

 

[elektra]

That's not what you said a short while ago.

Navy personal retire and or leave the Navy already and operate our Nuclear reactors

This is what I said, true statement

They're ignorant of a fuckton more than just physics.

Witness this potential grant money sucking boondoggle.....I was amazed that it's even a thing at all.



The pressure required along with the size of the storage facility is ridiculous. I'd love to see these retards find a salt mine that wouldn't leak like a sieve if you pumped air in it under enough pressure to spin large turbines to make substantial power for literally hours.

And there just isn't some huge unused reserve capacity anymore to use to run gigantic electric hog air compressors for hours on end to try to fill huge caverns.

Water works because of weight, gravity, and it's ease of movement. Air...............So yeah, good luck with all that.

Someone or some company that is a failure wants .gov grant dollars.

Solution:

Why bother with all this insignificant nonsense and just instead focus on nuclear power. It's the only source of non-fossil fuel energy that can, hands down, meet the needs of the world.

New technology reactors can be very safe, and they can be installed close to the sites that need the power (like data centers) since their footprint is very small.

No ugly/costly cross-country transmission lines required. And the latest small modular reactors that are now coming will be VERY small, easy to install where needed. And very safe, no pressure vessel etc.

Nuclear power has long worked very well in ships. IT would take small amounts of nuclear products to power for a long time the plants.

Thanks for that insider report on Nuclear use.

 

[Robert W]

Few (if any) persons ever suggested air or solar could replace all other forms of energy generation. The OP is apparently too busy patrolling his AO (lol) to know what he is talking about.

As far as it goes, nuclear is a great idea with certain limitations. The navy has been using nuclear ships for what--70 years now? Pretty much without a major incident. Let the utilities build some plants with the stipulation that the Navy will run them.. Let the navy run them. ConEd or PG&E pay a fee to the navy to run the plant. They charge their customers for the energy. The public gets a dependable power supply and a plant run by professionals. They don’t have to worry too much about the plants being run shoddily; nobody gets their job because they know someone who works there. The utility doesn’t have to worry about compliance issues since they don’t run the plant. The utility essentially becomes a dealer for the power.

California has had nuclear. I myself have had as clients two experts in nuclear power. I asked them many many years back, in the 1970s, how safe is nuclear power. I got good reports by the two experts. One worked at a nuclear plant in CA as a worker. The other was a physicist working for a nuclear facility in San Jose, CA. The plant worker was an inspector.
What happened to the nuclear industry in CA is too many fear mongers managed to frighten people. The fear factor is why CA eased away from Nuclear power.

Especially the stupid boondoggles.

The Wright Brothers, once considered a boondoggle.

Likewise Edison, Tesla, etc

Did the government hand the Wright Brothers a bunch of tax dollars?

Did the government mandate alternatives out of business?

Good point. Solar and Wind is basically "Tilting at Windmills". Worthless.

 

[San Souci]

No. But Solar and Wind get ALL of that 3 TRILLION that Biden- Pig Harris appropriated. Build back Better indeed. They have built 8 Charging Stations. Where did the rest of that money go?

Solar power, Wind Power, Electric cars preseded, came before the wright brothers. Edison, and Tesla.

Nobody considered the wright brothers a boondoogle and the government did not pay the wright brothers to fly. Huge difference
