Yes. While renewables are great supplemental energy sources, they’re high in manufacturing and maintenance cost and require maintenance that, when comparing overall output to maintenance costs, will cost significantly more than a nuclear plant in its lifespan.
Then there’s of course the environmental effects from the manufacturing process for things like solar panels and wind turbines - also shipping from all around the world, contributing to greenhouse gasses.
Then, there’s the required space to get enough power for the masses - especially in the marine environment, where we’re already arguing how lobster pots are bad for whales - imagine what a few hundred metal towers climbing from the ocean floor off the coast of Maine could do.
Then, you have to factor in power storage, since these sources don’t provide reliable, consistent energy. Current battery technology still relies on rare materials, mined in poor countries with questionable-at-best worker protections. And to provide the sheer amount of energy we currently use, that is A LOT of batteries. Yes, the technology is improving. And yes, nuclear also relies on rare materials mined from the earth, but in much lesser numbers.
All in all, per square foot, nuclear is going to be the safest, most efficient, most reliable, and most environmentally friendly energy source for the future. The sooner we start improving and adding to our nuclear energy infrastructure, the sooner we can kick our dependency on fossil fuels and other environmentally insensitive energy projects.

I think you’ve been extremely misled on the benefits and drawbacks of nuclear power. Of all available options, it is the single answer for responsible, efficient green energy production. There is no well-powered, environmentally friendly future without nuclear power.

But if they do this weekly (or more) around the world it’s not as much. Especially when it could be significantly more negligible by flying commercial.

Fuck he’s back? All the hard work for nothing. I wonder if he’s using more alts again, since u/material-fabulous is gone for good

TLDR - OP probably got baked out of his mind, went to Providence, didn’t really do anything, but sure felt like he did. Good day.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but rent everywhere is never going to get cheaper unless a city becomes a dump. There’s other things that need to be fixed instead.

It seems like the current state of all government in this country is to sow division. Nothing gets more votes than painting the other side as almighty evil. So instead of never vote republican, how about don’t vote for a single person who currently holds office of any kind. We need to start fresh.

They constantly deny it, yet stupidly use their alts to argue their case in threads like these and out themselves. What an absolute clown.

This had Gone Girl written all over it at the start, til it came out that the husband was a lot bigger of an asshole than Ben Afflecks character. He’s too stupid to not get caught selling fake art, why did he think he could get away with murder and disposal of a body when he’s already facing federal charges? Just a wild story all around.
