Comment on nuclear fear-mongering is a ploy by Big oil

  Do you want me to write out the thermodynamics equations to prove that power transmission over high voltage lines or for anything more than a thousand kilometers is fucking retarded?

    You’re still doing it. Your run on paragraphs aren’t worth much, if you want me to take you seriously, please provide links to valid sources to back up your argument.

        No need to act like a bitch just because I asked you to do the bare minimum and provide sources.

        Your first link is about HVDC lines, which already exist and work well, what is your point?

        your second link is about battery storage. You’re just posting links without giving any context to how they support whatever argument you’re trying to make here.

        Battery storage is not nearly equitable enough at this point in time.

        What does this mean?

        “findings suggest that the cost per kilowatt (KW) for utility-scale solar is less than $1,000, while the comparable cost per KW for nuclear power is between $6,500 and $12,250. At present estimates, the Vogtle nuclear plant will cost about $10,300 per KW, near the top of Lazard’s range. This means nuclear power is nearly 10 times more expensive to build than utility-scale solar on a cost per KW basis.”

        Tell me again about what’s equitable.

        Small modular reactors are much more cost effective at the current price point than battery will be for the next 15 to 20 years.

        They literally don’t exist as a means of grid generation. You’re just writing pro-nuclear fanfic and expecting us to treat it as if it has any basis in reality. Are you getting paid to peddle this horseshit?

        You should be.
