  1. Anyone who learned about the water cycle shouldn’t be.

  2. Had an argument with a guy about economics of nuclear in the UK the other day, and I’ve been wondering why the British are so bad at it. I guess the universe provides.

  3. That’s a sodium metal cooled reactor

  4. Biological weapons are complex and expensive, but compared to the complexity and expense of nuclear and chemical weapons, they’re relatively cheap and easy to produce.

  5. Bow is pronounced like the gesture, not the weapon.

  6.  @EDesigns_FL  for somethings, you’re right. For biology we don’t have that kind of understanding yet.

  7. Never let the US government be in charge. Unlike other places, the best and brightest do anything except become government officials. Also, American history is dominated by small holdings farms, so being staunchly in favor of land owners is being in favor of of the little guy in the US. It doesn’t translate so well in places that have had their land centralized.

  8. Most MSRs are designed to use uranium, and thorium can and is being used in pressurized water reactors

  9. South Korea builds plants in 4-6 years, so that’s points 1 and 2 down. Cutting down forests and burning them is renewable. Not really a standard I care about. Other types of reactors have already been built and they’re safe. They just need to be deployed commercially.

  10.  @EDesigns_FL  statistics based on models with little evidence are guess work

  11. D you have any idea how hard it is to build a vacuum chamber? Also, the lead and other heavy metals are going to last billions if not trillions of years. Lead might even last until the end of time

  12. Authoritarian. Authoritative means with expert knowledge.

  13. That’s because a lot of them at Celtic, Latinized Celtic and Old Norse.

  14. Use a magnet to pick it up then drop it were you want it. Junk yards and micro-LEDs unite!

  15. Mkae hydrogen and use that to reduce iron for making steel

  16. Solar kills 6 times as many people as nuclear does. Intermittency is terrible for efficiency

  17. I don’t know have any clue if this would work, but has anyone thought of making water from hydrogen to use, rather using water that’s been contaminated with who knows?

  18. It’s really inefficient
    1
  19. Salt is a major impurity in many industrial uses, and salt water also pretty corrosive

  20. It goes way further back, all the way back to Malthus. There’s a reason it’s called malthusian

  21. The greens hate nuclear and have sabotaged it every way they can
    1
  22. That stat is total bs. We have thousands of years worth of uranium floating in the oceans

  23. It’s an unholy alliance between “environmentalists” and NIMBYs.

  24. No, yes, and yes in a lot of cases.

  25. Water is radioactive. There are radioactive isotopes of hydrogen that form water. There are also contaminates in water because nothing is ever 100% pure.

  26. Nuclear

  27. It doesn’t sound like you watched the video.

  28.  @dominic.h.3363  But it doesn’t make it any less lucky for me.

  29. Use the brine to make hydrogen and reduce iron with the hydrogen
    1
  30. The US is built around the government being corrupt and feckless

  31. There’s a thing called night when solar doesn’t work.
    1
  32. There’s only need to compare things that work.

  33.  @alexmac101  it’s a huge problem for all systems that wants to be economically viable. A desalination plat powered by renewables is going to have to stop and start, which is inefficient, and they’ll be competing with other users at peak times. Nuclear powered desalination plants can run 24/7, and ramp up at night when electricity is cheaper

  34.  @justwhatever23  I’m partly talking about thermal systems, but inefficiencies aren’t just in the desalination. How you run a plant determines how economical it is because labor and other resources need to be used efficiently along with the desalination system. Solar has a low sticker price, but all of the ancillary costs make it one of the most expensive.

  35. Even the most efficient water recovery systems are only about 90% effective
