Daily reminder that if you favor any kind of energy over nuclear, you are an uneducated faggot.
Daily reminder that if you actively argue against investing in nuclear energy, you are an even bigger cock gobbler and you should kill yourself before your cancerous views infect other voters.
So when the fusion reactor in France goes online and proves just how obsolete and dangerous nuclear power is, we should ignore it?

What happens when the sun goes down moron? Good luck storing that power.
Nuclear is just as clean, far more reliable, cheaper, and fuels like Thorium are extremely abundant. It's also less environmentally invasive. So called "green" energy always takes up massive amounts of room.

Off yourself. Fusion reactors aren't my area of expertise, (I'm more interested in breeders) but it's obvious that you're just fearmongering because your 8th grade science teacher told you that nuclear was bad.
There's no way we can see for it to fuck up, until it does.

In that case, I am extremely concerned about the dangers of solar power. I don't want a solar power plant to explode near my home or my future children, so I will vote against it.
I know you didn't specifically recommend solar, but that's what you sound like. You're retarded. Your statement can be applied to literally anything.

thorium is not cost effective, it runs at 2000 degrees and uses corrosive salts.

How did that work out for Chernobyl, Long Islannd and Fukushima?
Hey.. let's not talk about how these 'clean' reactors are actually thousands of times more dangerous than most US coal plants. Don't forget that mentioning how they are constantly leaking, or the fact that they are in serious disrepair states across the US. Going decades beyond their normal operation usage. What could go wrong..

Plants have been converting solar energy into chemical energy since before the first multicellular organisms crawled out of the oceans.
Coal is basically just stored solar energy. So are crops. Unless you're talking geothermal then pretty much all energy sources originated as solar but we're just shit at utilising it because we're acting like all those sources are infinite.
If we didn't waste so much land and energy on useless shit then the problem would be more or less sorted out already.
William Young
are the majority of incidents that occur around nuclear power plants related to their old age, or could they happen to the most modern designs used today >three mile island >chernobyl >fukashima
Brayden Smith
lol this is a troll but I fell for it.
Nuclear is the safest per terrawatt hour of any energy source including renewable. Google it if you don't believe me. NASA recently came out with a study saying it's prevented 1.8million+ deaths that would have been due to externalities from coal and oil plants. Plants are lasting past decommission date because they are built so steadily and can continue to last. Nuclear plants are unbelievably safe environments. The only plants I know of that have "leaks" are boiler plants but that only extends to the parking lot which you need security clearance to get into anyways, and it's a level lower than normal background radiation.
Landon Brooks
Um, isn't magnetic fusion also a form of nuclear power?
Ian Perry
I mean, I think Nucular energy is definitely cleaner than coal and more efficient than most others. But the real question is, what if shit gets fucked up?

With nuclear fusion is it ever going to be possible to have a net gain in energy since you need to at least equal the energy output of the reaction in order to contain it safely and then each stage of conversion you lose some of it before it ends up finally as electric?

On the off chance that this is not an ironic post:
Unlike fossil fuels, which release waste into the atmosphere, nuclear power plants only release easily contained solid waste. This is only a problem because our obsolete reactors are so inefficient, and give off so much of the stuff. When we burn uranium, we are only using as little as ~.5% of its energy potential.
Contrast this with a breeder reactor, which creates more fissile material as it goes. (Using some other fuel, which is where the thorium meme comes from.) In a thorium reactor, you'll have far less waste, and of the waste you do have, 85% of it only needs to be stored for a short period of time. There is the remaining 15% which needs to be stored for 300 years, but this is easily done.
It's especially easily done when you consider that 4 or 5 thousand tons of thorium could power the ENTIRE WORLD FOR A YEAR.

The worst explosion you're going to get from renewable energy is electronic. If you've ever worked in a trade you'll know what a risk assessment is, try doing one of those for a nuclear reactor. Now do one for a bunch of giant fans.
Ryder Ramirez
>let's not talk about how these 'clean' reactors are actually thousands of times more dangerous than most US coal plants First off, I'd like to see your statistics for this, because you're wrong.

You sound like one of those fuckwits who doesn't understand how or why chernobyl happened,
Read up on chernobyl, educate yourself
Understand how many people had to fuck up and how many fuckups had to come together to make that happen, and how rare it would be if there was a competent staff.
Now, if you want a good example on why nuclear energy isn't very safe, I would use Fukushima as an example. No human error, the place was simply hit by an earthquake and tsunami.

Kayden Turner
Highly recommend you read up on these as they're all really really interesting.
>Three mile island Happened due to an inability to accurately and sensibly transfer information. There was a maintenance problem, and no good way to figure out what the problem was, one problem led to many small problems and a few big ones, and the control centers at the time were not equipped to discern small alarms from big alarms, so the smaller problems were prioritized essentially, which led to it having to be shut down. It's more complicated than that but the short answer is no, it wouldn't happen because control rooms have been revamped to display more information and prioritize alarms, and maintenance errors happen far less frequency due to the indepth nature of procedures.
>chernobyl dumbass mistake, russian plant decided to turn off a reactor to see how long the turbine would spin if a shut down happened. Many other reactors were asked to perform the experiment and denied it for a reason. They then proceeded to turn on extra coolant valves (which they are never supposed to do) which caused the reactor's pressure to build higher. technically yes it could happen but it would only happen if many, many federal laws and regulations were broken, and would require almost 100+ people to agree in helping them be broken
>fukishima another dumbass mistake, built on/near a huge fault line and in a very typhoon heavy area. Knew they could have installed safeties before hand but didn't. Didn't put out a full response team because they were scared of panic. Could technically happen again but won't. Companies (including the one I'm working at) have spent billions to ensure it wouldn't happen to them since the accident.
All of these accidents occurred due to poor planning/execution in the 60-70s and have been almost 100% remedied since

According to the current law of physics, no IIRC. I'm not big into fusion, I know the push is for cold fusion but AFAIK perpetual motion is currently 100% impossible, which means net + energy definitely is as well.
