Luckilly robot technology has evolved so much now. I was in chernobyl and the robots on display there where still very basic. Especially compared with these.

@mjbaricua7403 what do you mean? We are entering an age where electricity generation will be free for most people and businesses or will cost pennies or fractions of a penny to buy what you can not generate yourself. Newest nukes have a fixed cost of over 25 cents per kwh over their entire lifetime to make them financially viable. Who is going to be willing to pay that? Either nobody and the thing has to be boarded up or government has to subsedise it in order for it to put it's electricity on the market at said market rates. Which in the end will mean it has to be subsedised for 95% with public money for half a century or more. Imagine building 10 of them or something, that will be billions a year flushed down the toilet. And that is if nothing goes wrong and some sort of solution will be found to deal with it's waste. The whole idea is just absurd.

Who wants to pay for nuke energy? They are an economical dead end.

@mjbaricua7403 if electricity costs a penny per kwh during the day and 25 cent kwh during night time, how long will it take for you to go out and buy a storage appliance for a couple of 100 bucks to hang in a closet somewhere so you can simply buy what you need at night during the day. And what is left over push back into the grid for a nice profit before the sun comes up again. A battery pack will pay for itself in months. Anybody not doing it will be an idiot. And that doesn't even factor in the massive turbine parks being build all over that will be pumping electricity into the system during both night and day. Wind energy is even cheaper then pv, although you can not do that yourself at home for free. The cost disparity is just to massive. When timeshifting the cheap energy is cheaper then generating it at the time, timeshifting will be what the market is going to do. It is simple economics.

@marvintpandroid2213 for bulk buyers those are already the going rates, those will eventually become available to consumers sooner rather then later. Same with batteries, storage prices already are below 100 dollars per kwh and still going down rapidly. Those prices will be reality far before any new nukes will be operational.

@TheTrueMichael i deleted nothing. And they are nukes.. why not call them that?

@wolfy1398 what exactly is a nuke? Anything that uses nuclear science can be called nuke as nuke is simply a nickname for nuclear. I don't think bombs have the rights to the name "nuke"....

@marvintpandroid2213 dude, just use google. There are multiple solar farms that where contracted to deliver their electricity for 20 years at a couple of cents per kwh. 1 in california and 1 in tunesia i remember from the top of my head. There are more if you take a moment to look for them. One of them even included a part storage in the contract for a couple of pennies per kwh. Pv panels cost less then 40 bucks a pop if you buy them by the container load from the factory. And they produce quite a lot of electricity over 20 years.

@marvintpandroid2213 lol. You do know there are no links allowed here right. Anyway, stop wasting peoples time if you are to lazy to do a 10 second search to actually learn something, it is disrespectful both to yourself and the people willing to give you their time.

@TheTrueMichael when did bombs get the rights to the word nuke?

@TheTrueMichael we have called nuclear reactors nukes since forever as well. At least for as long as i can remember and i'm no teenager anymore lol.
