@dphitch The only thing the government has to do is get out of the way. Regulatory hurdles drive both the costs and the lead times. Those hurdles are entirely self-inflicted. More than that, they are deliberately designed to keep nuclear from being part of our energy mix, rather than any legitimate safety concerns. All this, in spite of the fact that even sunny, windy, green-obsessed places like California rely completely on their legacy nuclear plants to keep the lights on. If they'd kept up a steady pace of building new ones, the blackouts and brownouts of previous decades simply would not have happened.

@SamiNami Lasts a long time once you've built it.

@TheSolitarysun You're right, I missed that.

@RedTeufel Nuclear you can't afford: - A corrupt government - To build it in a place subject to multiple natural disasters simultaneously Otherwise you're fine.

Storage isn't a viable option, although if your attention lapsed at all you might have missed it. "The US has two minutes' worth of battery storage, and to get that up to four hours would take more lithium than there is in the world."

Did you miss the bit where he says storage does not and cannot work at the scales necessary?

Someone needs to do an explainer about differential equations (like the ones governing power lines), and how power line losses vary with respect to each variable.

I'm looking forward to the videos about the glorious victories the Ukrainian counter-offensive is achieving. The production values should be amazing, as that's the only imaginable reason such a video would not be out by now.

@sayrebonifield4663 In a part of Nevada or elsewhere in the Rockies that there is no physical way for it to get into any one's drinking water? Of course. Or in an ocean subduction zone where over the course of time it will drop into Earth's core? Sure. These people pretend there are no solutions, it's weird.

@Skunk106 You're insane and delusional. The worst hurricane to hit my part of the world was 400 years ago, well before any of this "warming" started. You have been fooled by people who have entirely unwarranted confidence in computer models, which simply aren't able to make reliable predictions. The fact that you've "accepted" reductions in standard of living -- which, make no mistake, quite literally means poverty to billions of poor people and death to hundreds of millions -- means you've joined a death cult. Wake up! Stop trusting computer models! Stop wishing death on your fellow humans! Have a look at the technologies that have lifted us up -- that we have been able to depend on for decades or centuries now, and that will lift us up further in the future -- and accept reality!

@highvoltageswitcher6256 Hydrogen is extremely difficult to store. It's also really weird to refer to it as "green hydrogen", as if there are multiple kinds. DC power transmission comes with its own problems. I'd recommend you study some more on this -- and ignore whatever source was talking about "green hydrogen", it's probably an ideologue of some kind.

@Hjernespreng What do they use instead?

@kimwelstead8994 What are the efficiency numbers for that?

If you have nuclear, you don't even need renewables.
