water vapor is the greenhouse gas
you produce enormous amounts of it with magic rock

>>510362106 (OP)
why dont we just pipe water down to the earths core and profit?

>>510362106 (OP)
We are probably going to start building SMRs soon. The Secretary of Energy is an SMR guy and they just finished testing at least one example at INL and finished pebble based fuel system testing at ORNL last year

>>510362471
you can, but you will be cooling the Earth's mantle, and that over time will cool the core and that will make it stop spinning and that will make the magnetic field collapse and that will make cosmic rays fry the atmosphere and that will make the Earth have no atmosphere

>>510362471
I believe it's MIT but their is research into modifying oil rigs into geothermal which is just dumping water into a hot hole and use the steam to spin turbine pretty based and darn near free energy. We have tons of options on energy we just have to stop sucking the cocks of big oil but the jewelry won't let that happen

>>510362890
Fuck auto correct and yes I'm a phone fag

>>510362977
>>510362890
just use solar power
it is no brainier for inner solar system planet

>>510362856
no way we have the capacity to affect earths core even by a little

>>510363107
look around, you live in man made thing and use man made things
humans have killed most animals and are farming all the land

>>510362856
Then we can use the system to absorb cosmic rays and heat the core back up

>>510363201
Earth is really fucking big compared to us. We're like dust on its surface. We could detonate every single nuke at same time and it wouldn't affect earth structurally at all and it still would be weaker than a single supervolcano lol

>>510363662
>All we are is dust in the wind, bro.

Not available 24/7 and battery tech on the level needed is purely theoretical.

America cannot migrate into nuclear plants because the future jeet-spic-nigger workforce would not be able to maintain a single one without catastrophic meltdown, making the land totally unlivable.

Sorry bro. Regardless of how small the risk i just don't think a technology where poisoning an areas watertable or large swaths of land is at possibility at all is worth it when there are options that don't pose that risk at all. Not to mention the issues with waste that even should thorium reactors be adopted only diminish rather than solve. Cost to energy is great in the long term but the risk reward still isn't. Similar reasons as to why i don't like fracking. By the same coin however I do think it's silly for anyone ok with fracking to oppose nuclear.

>>510362106 (OP)
it's part of the slomo genocide they consider 'healing the world'. i don't think the devious cunning fronts know how to run the numbers and which. their handlers do know. and it's more about lack of energy really than safety.

>>510362106 (OP)
Cool. So the Radiation my mom got when she had breast cancer didn't cause burns throughout her body..it was all imaginary.
Got it.

>>510363826
You can eliminate the risk entirely, you bury the reactors in a mining cavern. Even if the reactor explodes chernobyl style the silicon in the earth glassifies and contains the fallout.

>>510362106 (OP)
is this how clouds are made?

>>510362106 (OP)
I say the following as someone who supports nuclear power, and wants to see it used more often with new plants being built and old ones being renovated. Nuclear waste IS a problem, and as if that weren’t a big enough issue? When nuclear power goes wrong, it REALLY goes wrong. Making huge swathes of land no go zones for several generations? Scary. Making farmland useless for potentially centuries? Also scary. Plumes of radiation that can spread globally? Still scary. Some of the Soviet Union’s fuckups with nuclear power alone are the stuff of nightmares and I’m not even talking about Chernobyl. So. To do nuclear power in a way that isn’t going to make everything worse you have to do it very carefully.

>>510364511
We already have reactor designs that are meltdown-proof.
We can store the waste deep inside mountains while the technology develops.

>>510364769
>store the west in deep dumps
Yes. Assuming those get built, are built correctly, and there’s no issue transporting the waste to them. While I again agree? If you consider the kind of harm a spill, containment breach, or just idiot fucking around and finding out with the stuff can do? It’s not something that can just be assumed as safe out of hand. Ideally the reactor and the waste disposal site would share a location. Which might be a good idea anyway since you need a highly geologically stable area to build either of them.
>meltdown proof
There are ways to mitigate risks, and modern designs definitely seem to have a much better safety record. Just we should never, ever, under any circumstances assume a nuclear system is 100% safe. You know the saying about idiot proof systems and the universe inventing better idiots. Still. Between modern designs, on site disposal, and advanced fuel reprocessing? The rewards vastly outweigh the risks.

The Jappo finally gets it

You know Africa had nuclear reactors 4 billion years ago?

>>510362246

Oh noez! Not muh hekkin CLOUDS! That's almost as bad as cow farts!

>>510364410
No, clouds are a curse and likely the culmination of the element silicon in water

>>510362106 (OP)
yeah i remember when i cared about nuclear power being safe and effective

>>510365269
Benefit war outweighs the absolutely minute imagined risk. Your logic is just risk adverse tardation.

>Why should we invent and take medicine? There's a small risk I might react badly to antibiotics so I shouldn't take it.

>>510363819
>catastrophic meltdown
no longer possible

>>510362106 (OP)
The retards are you, yoshi, and the vatniks.

And yes, we are trying to guilt trip all you incompetent thirdies into abandoning nuclear so you stop causing nuclear disasters.

>>510363791

If it's purely theoretical then it works but hasn't been tried

>>510365771
The risk isn’t imagined. We know it happens. My point is that we need nuclear power. We just need to use it very carefully. Expansion must be done in a well planned, long term way.

>>510364511
> my fear makes me well informed

We won't see nuclear power resurgence until after total global hegemony is complete.

>>510365872
no faggot. your fud is a smokescreen for a failed nonproliferation strategy. you are not well informed, you are a muppet

>>510365881
>>510365971
Yes. Just put down some poorly designed plant where the corp running it can cheap out on everything, and then have a nice meltdown and make people too afraid to use nuclear power for another 50 years. Brilliant. Clever idea. That’s way smarter than a careful long term overbuilt design with on site waste disposal. Way better.

>>510363826

All of the stuff about the dangers of nuclear whatevers is propaganda

You aren't one of those people reeing about the sun because of radiation poisoning do you?
