Why would you put exploding liquid in your car?

Now if this was the “only” way, maybe, but molten Salt reactors can be used that don’t explode and can be continuously refueled because the fuel in in the salt.

I’m not against nuclear power just power plants that can explode.

And if they want a fast reactor the Russians have a great design that uses lead that has been working fine for a long time. Not to mention you can make fast molten salt reactors f you wish also.

The reason they refuse to use molten salt reactors is it ruins their profit stream. They burn almost every single bit of the nuclear material as opposed to 2% or so in light water reactors and they can be refueled by slowly adding a little liquid as they run.

The light water reactor folks only make money on fuel not on building plants.

And if you don’t like molten salt reactors there’s Adams Atomic engines reactors that run off of balls of ceramic with embedded nuclear fuel and the power comes from gas turbines running heated air.

None of these I mentioned explode.

The social democrats and greens just formed a governing coalition in Germany and agreed on a 2030 coal exit, too. They also want to lower the voting age to 16. So, no nuclear, no coal, and their energy regulator halted the certification process for the Nord stream gas pipe line, so that wont come online this year, either. I guess the Germans should just all become climate monks and dig for bugs in the darkness and cold.

Hey! Some of my friends are German! (smile).

Actually, look at what the Green Extremists have done in Germany, with the approval of the German people. Shut down nuclear power plants because … not quite sure, maybe something to do with the well-known German tsunami risk. But they still need electric power — so they are building replacement power stations fueled by nasty low-rank brown coal. Presumably, it makes sense to someone. (shrug)

This entire matter of Green going Nuke is hilarious, of course not. They have gone nuclear because they remain anti-nuclear, if nuclear power had replaced coal we’d being going coal burning for ‘no nukes’. Perhaps we’d call it clean coal.

We will just go dark, as will Kemmerer, WY.

Honestly people this dumb and weak can die shivering in the cold.

Correction:

the heat storage will also allow the Kemmerer site to compensate for the unpredictably unreliable power supply from the politician-mandated growing use of heavily subsidized so-called “renewable” power which is causing immense environmental harm, from child workers in African cobalt mines to children poisoned by lithium mining in Mongolia to dead endangered birds in Wyoming.
