Do you think nuclear power is a good, or bad, thing?

[TristanLuigi]

well of course its bad if we are to discuss a bunch of science fiction alternatives.

with what we are using NOW for power, nuclear is clean efficient and just all around better then anything.


and no, wind, water, solar is not efficient. to power cities, there isn't space enough to have it all.
hoover damn cant power a city on its own. it takes like 5k windmills to power a small town.
every house in the country can have solar panels and it wouldn't be enough.

it helps, but its not a replacement.

I know, you are correct about everything except

hoover damn cant power a city on its own

Hoover dam can power the entire city of Flagstaff, if it wasn't divided across 4 states.

I got 600 RADs in the name of science.

I walked into a mine field in the name of science.

I broke my limbs in the name of science.

Bad. it has too much ricks. plus it creates hazardous waste

Did you, like, not read the topic at all?

[The Titanium]

Yeah of course you did. The same way I knew your only contribution to this topics, like all others, would be wishy-washy badly written side pointers. Hurphurp.

What, is it my duty to be so contributory to this? Turns out I'm not an expert on the subject. There are other people who could contribute better than I. My wish-washy side pointers, is there a reason they should be written so perfectly? This isn't so professional nor important. Chill out. You're often so bitter about something, bitter about some trivial, minor details.

He has every right to be bitter about some dipstuff coming in and bashing him without actually contributing to the conversation. It would be one thing if you had actually said something worthwhile instead of "umad" or "durf durf I knew sheath would act stupid", but you didn't.

The Grand Coulee Dam powers half of Washington State and even sells electricity as far south as Oregon.

Hook me up with your dealer, cuz he's giving you some good stuff.

Nuclear energy is safe for the most part and clean. Unless some catastrophic event threw the plant out of whack then there should never be any problems with a plant.

Solar energy isn't productive at all compared to nuclear energy. I believe it is actually one of the lowest producers. I'm not sure about wind turbines though. Hydroelectric power is pretty good, compared to solar and wind.

[Saber15]

nuclear fission is pretty good but i want my goddamn nuclear fusion tokamak reactors

Yeah, clean apart from the hideous bi-product it creates.

Glad I live in a nuclear free country. The only radioactive thing we have are X-Rays. Hydroelectric power is the way to go.

have you seen the things that contain the nuclear waste? they can smash two of things into each other at 700kph while full of high pressure gas and nothing will leak out; the containers will have some chipped paint to show they had a crash at 1400kph. then they bury the things in useless terrain that's impossible to use for anything (desert), cover the entire area in warnings designed to be effective even if civilization ends and people loose the knowledge of english/whatever the local language is.

solar energy is pretty bad on earth compared to other energy sources, but if you made solar satellites in space and beamed the energy back with a laser, it'd be productive if not cost effective.

You do realize that it costs billions of dollars to put satellites into space, and that there's no known method of broadcasting electric power?

Yeah, Sheath has never been "a dipstuff coming in and bashing" people that weren't planning on speaking to him in a thread before.
I feel like you're almost trying to follow me around and take every opportunity possible to tell me how much of a stupid douchebag I am.

Also, I wasn't trying to imply Sheath "would act stupid", I was just pointing out that I expected his viewpoint to be what it turned out to be, regardless of how I thought of it. I do not really have an accurate understanding of all this, so I don't really have a viewpoint.

In fact, where in that post was I actually directly bashing him? Aside from saying that he was a bitter person, I believe all I did was ask why certain things mattered so much, and why what I did was so wrong.

hence the "productive but not cost effective", also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_power_transmission#Microwave_power_transmission

[Jorici]

Haha, I was thinking EXACTLY that.

Now, where is my simcity...
