The mistake is thinking that our leaders actually want green energy. The reality is our leaders want control and want us all dirt poor, and scrounging around as slaves to the government.

Quote HistoryQuoted: He probably walked away from that Putin meeting with his butthole puckered up tighter than a snare drum... Macron told Putin to stop being a meanie and Putin said "Oh yeah, what are you going to do about it?" This is the logical next step. It actually makes enough sense that I am surprised that it happened!

There are a few companies working on small modular reactors I think that's where the nuke industry is headed but there is just too much red tape to get costs low enough NG's supposed relative cleanliness depends on how emissions are weighted. As it's sunk slowly into the consciousness of policymakers that methane emissions have both a larger impact vs. CO2 than previously thought and that cutting them buys more time than cutting CO2 emissions because they have a much shorter lifespan in the atmosphere it's fallen out of favor, which is probably why France and others are building nuclear. |

France has an opportunity to become the energy supplier to much of Europe when Russia inevitably turns the gas off. Nuke plants can provide tons of energy and aren't reliant on a constant daily supply of foriegn fuel to run.

They're going to sell power to Germany and extract all the political advantage they can with that leverage.
The future is nuclear and natural gas, we'll look back on the investments in solar and wind power as a utter idiocy. |

Germany trashed all their nuke plants and planned on getting gas and oil from Russia. Then the Ukraine shit started and Germany is having a big "aw shit" moment. They're NOW thankful to be members of NATO, don't want to pay their fair share, but still thankful.
As far a recycling commercial spent fuel, the US government official position is that it doesn't trust recyclers and claim proliferation as their biggest reason for not letting it happen. |

"What could possibly go wrong here?" Eh, most of the human race is intended to be hucked feet first into a wood chipper by our leadership. Might as well get to it, starting with the Germans. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I've always said if people were really serious about reducing carbon emissions they would adopt nuclear on a large scale. Not as cheap as natural gas but there is a chance that could improve with economy of scale. I believe the French picked a standard reactor and plant design and built a bunch of them, which significantly reduced costs and delays. The US had a lot less standardization. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: They see how fucked germany is, and wants in on the profits. Good for the frogs. Bingo! France will likely need to dust off some limpet mines though. Question for any of the nuke people here: How long would it, reasonably, take to build a nuke plant? Say the US got its shit together, saw the light, and decided to go on a nuke plant building spree. Obviously paying attention to safety, but not being completely fucking retarded when it came to DOE, OSHA, EPA, etc, basically not standing in the way. Even going so far as giving subsidies or breaks to the builders. |
