| 9d ago | Battery storage is cheap enough for day-night intraday swings. It’s expensive if you need to move electricity from summer to winter or cover a three week wind drought. You can flex nuclear output b… ×2 | +2.5 |
| 9d ago | (Nuclear has risks as well of course but the point is ‘blanket the U.K. with solar/wind’ is probably not a feasible answer so you’re back to backing with gas or nuclear to some extent) | +1.0 |

| 9d ago | I mean we beat the Nazis before we got nukes. Japan we got some but we definitely would've won a conventional war, just at the cost of a lot of US (and Japanese) casualties. | -1.5 |
| 9d ago | A patriotic military officer with some controversial ideas orders his bombers to attack Russia with nuclear weapons. | -9.0 |
| 9d ago | If you need some gas to keep going, just stop by and get topped off. I have #Radioactive level #Gas. I can power a fission engine myself. That's what it's going to take. I delivered global implemen… ×2 | -1.5 |
| 9d ago | When some French nuclear power plants are closed during heat waves, we regularly see the headlines. This is because of limits that have been put in place to preserve biodiversity. But did you know … | +1.5 |
| 9d ago | I'm pretty sure Trump and Kushner have already sold the Sauds all the nuclear intel they need. A Pakistan general or two might be willing to part with some fissile material for a hefty chunk of cas… ×2 | -6.0 |
| 9d ago | Agree. But I don’t know what would happen in general or to EUR, US, or world public opinion if Putin were eg to drop a low-yield nuke on some lightly populated part of UKR and then demand Kyiv bend… | -8.0 |
| 9d ago | I don't see how that's relevant. The occasional shutdown of a few power plants during hot weather isn't the killer blow to nuclear that some seem to imagine. | +1.5 |
| 9d ago | For some reason they asked me to give a talk to the fast stream intake when they visited BEIS: "Welcome to a department which has two supercomputers, an Antarctic base, an icebreaker, two submarin… ×2 | +1.5 |
| 9d ago | The federal govt's lack of authority in electricity/energy in general means some unholy marriages, some scary, like lashing your boat to Ford's very expensive and risky one-way nuclear bet (which m… | -3.5 |

| 9d ago | The *engineering* lesson learned from Fukushima was events with 1 in 100 year probability are likely to occur in a 50 year lifespan. Therefore they need to be accounted for in the design. At face … ×2 | -2.0 |
| 9d ago | There's rarely any teason to take nuclear threats from anyone seriously. Boomers overestimated the threat astronomically. I'd hardly call it worth creating more wars much less letting some chuds w… | -4.0 |
| 9d ago | And I actually find the way some people are seemingly unable to grapple that for many of us we don't see bigotry as a 'difference of opinion', like a disagreement over nuclear energy or high speed … | -2.0 |
| 9d ago | Some of us are old enough to remember the fall out from accidents at Chernobyl and Three Mile Island. No amount of reassurance that this can't happen again will persuade me that nuclear power stati… | -6.0 |

| 9d ago | Yeah just don't turn them into megaprojects. Its just some hot rocks and some steam turbines. Plus nuclear storage has the same problems, stupid rules around radiation. Dig a big hole and put it in… | -4.0 |
