Almost makes me forget that they use slave labor.

Jayden Murphy
What do those numbers ( none of which add up to 100%) matter?
Do any of those companies build their own power plants? No. So they just buy up energy produced by renewable resources leaving less for the rest of the country and that makes them good somehow?

>it's cheaper than using local factories in countries with the larger consumer base because these countries actually enforce environmental regulations
desu i'm glad that shit isn't being produced locally, the damage the runoff of these materials cause far more damaging effects to the populations health than the economic benefits could ever conquer
saged cause OP is a baiting faggt
but i like being milked, so it's okay.

They're not, they use the same energy as everybody else. They just pay someone more so they can say they're using the "green" sources.
Still cleaner than coal plants, and still hundreds of times more efficient than useless wind or solar plants. Cheaper too. Nuclear power is the clean energy of the future.
Adrian Hughes
>Still cleaner than coal plants
Sure but that's not saying much.
>still hundreds of times more efficient than useless wind or solar plants
>muh money
Pretty irrelevant if it isn't clean energy with the risk of a major fuck up. If the only alternative were coal plants, nuclear would be probably be worth the risk but given much better alternatives, it's not.
> Nuclear power is the clean energy of the future.
Not with the current advancements, no.
Wyatt Brown
The risk of a "major fuckup" is still negligible, and even when accounted for it's still cheaper and more efficient and cleaner than everything else. Sorry but the grand total of like... 5 incidents maybe after decades of hundreds of plants operating all around the globe is NOTHING. The current "advancements" are based on subsidies and propaganda. Take that away and nuclear power is the only viable source. Luckily it's also the best one in all regards.
Thomas Sanders
a lot of
>renewable energy
is in the form of solar/wind
meaning only specific times of the day are they actually viable.
if you run your factories/offices during the hours renewable alternatives are viable, then it really isn't a bad thing.
esp when hydro/nuclear is far cheaper and more accessible for the masses anyway.
Jordan Kelly
The current nuclear industry in the US is more closely regulated and has a better safety record than ANY other type of energy. IAEA and USNRC studies confirm this. You have been led to believe political talking points.
William Sanders
Excep data centres which account for the largest fraction of power consumption of these companies have to run around the clock.

Smells like bullshit to me.

Radioactive materials are natural, so there's nothing to complain about.

More like dump it in Siberia or Africa because laws and corrupt local politicians will save you tons of money instead of burying it somewhere underground amirite senpaitachi?
Benjamin Brown
nuclear energy still remains the cleanest, most efficient, and safest
if you give me the safest car on the market I can still be a retard and kill myself with it, won't make the car any less safe
Sebastian Ross
Tell that to russian and african kids who will live next to nuclear landfill for next 200 years.
Connor Lopez
I don't care, it's not the energy type that is unsafe or unclean
I'm a scientist, not an environmentalist or a politician, I don't have to do anything with corrupt politicians or fucked up goverments, nor has nuclear energy
James Bennett
>o they just buy up energy produced by renewable resources leaving less for the rest of the country and that makes them good somehow?
Yes, "Green tariffs" from energy suppliers are normally more expensive than standard tariffs because generating the energy that way is less efficient in cost per watt terms. Most electricity companies have mandated renewables targets so they would still have to produce the electricity in the same make up but without people and companies falling for the "green tariff" BS all our bills would be proportionally higher.

This. 3 Mile Island, Chernobyl etc were all 1st/2nd generation plants built in 50s/60s. We are generations ahead in design now

>useless wind
The county I live in is powered 100% by wind and tidal. Hell, the entire country regularly runs entirely on renewables for a day or more at a time.
Evan Wilson
Fukushima survived an earthquake stronger than it was officially certified for and, as per safety protocol, automatically shut down.
The problem was that the tsunami damaged the backup cooling system which is necessary as the reactor produces a small amount of heat even when shut down.
Ayden Collins
chinese companies don't give a single shit and that's why they're only getting bigger
Jack Phillips
A couple hundred people will eventually die because of this meltdown. Compare that to the number of people who will die from lung complications due to coal plant pollution and I doubt this will seem as bad, especially considering how many more coal plants there are.
With better placement of reactors (Montana) there would be very little risk of a meltdown and minimal civilian risk in the event of one

You can recycle nuclear waste up to 97%. U.S. is one of the few countries that doesn't utilize recycling.

Still checks out
Nobody undergoes the same amount of scrutiny and still stays running. Near misses in nuclear are taken as seriously a misses in any other industry.
