gatomontes99 Posted Friday at 06:05 PM Report Posted Friday at 06:05 PM Trump just signed an EO that will increase the number of nuclear plants. This is a very big deal that should be bipartisan. So how will the left oppose more cheap, no emission power? 1 1 Quote The Rules for Liberal tactics: If they can't refute the content, attack the source.

herbie Posted yesterday at 02:38 AM Report Posted yesterday at 02:38 AM Yeah let's adopt the most expensive, longest to implement form of electrical generation and pretend like it will fix everything by tomorrow morning. Quote

LOL, well in fairness gatomontes you DID ask Herbie's problem is that if you ACTUALLY solve the problem of creating energy without global warming then he won't have anything to cry about as he rends his garments Canada is about to bring its very first SMRs online. This is a truly next generation tech and canada is in the lead when it comes to design. We also have a lot of the nuclear material necessary to build reactors. So this is good news for us. The new tech solves almost all the problems of older tech. It CANNOT have a runway meltdown (where as the old tech needed lots of safety systems to prevent it), you have small clusters so ite easy to take one offline for repairs while the others continue to produce power, it's easy to add to the cluster if necessary over time. It's cheaper (still expensive but no where near as bad) and it produces almost no nuclear waste compared to older systems. It's clean and doesn't require a lake to cool it. It can be deployed anywhere. And yet... despite being almost the perfect renewable environmentally safe power source.... the left is going to hate it. Because the LAST thing they need is to actually SOLVE a problem. 1 Quote There are two types of people in this world: Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data

"The Left is going to hate" YOUR STRAWMAN, because you've made huge mistakes; and the first one is NO EVIDENCE for your CLAIMS CdnLIAR. In REALITY: Quote Small modular reactors (SMRs) have several disadvantages, including: Cost SMRs can be expensive, with estimates ranging from $50 million for microreactors to $3 billion for larger units. Their smaller size means they lack the economies of scale that larger reactors have, and their lower power output can lead to higher costs per unit of electricity generated. Waste SMRs produce more radioactive waste per gigawatt of capacity than conventional nuclear power plants. The spent fuel from SMRs remains dangerously radioactive for thousands of years. Safety SMRs have passive cooling systems that rely on natural convection and gravity, but these systems can be unreliable. For example, environmental factors like earthquakes, flooding, and wildfires could degrade the conditions in which the reactors operate, or manufacturing defects could prevent the systems from working properly. SMRs also lack the thick concrete walls of traditional nuclear power plants, which could make them more vulnerable to damage in natural disasters. Security Establishing a fleet of smaller, more dispersed nuclear installations could lead to more security problems. Development SMRs are still a novel technology, and there are many unknowns and challenges to overcome. For example, it's difficult to have confidence in production times, learning rates, and cost reductions when there are so few reactors currently operating. Quote
