People don't understand this simple concept.  The country is so bad at science that when someone puts science next to something they think it can't be disputed.  The funny thing, is science is all about disputing everything.

The engineering science says that the most efficient wind and solar facility only produce electricity 35-40% of the time.

Thank you.

Something I read around 2015. In 1980, worldwide, there was 1 living wage job created for every 3 children born. 35 years later, 1 job for every 16 children.

 

 

 

 

Yet we almost encourage poor people to have several kids.

His belief that more windmills and solar farms are the magic bullet solution to global climate change is as stupid as Trump’s belief that it is all a hoax.  

Nuclear power is an interesting conundrum. Could be something of a magic bullet. On the other hand it’s absolutely catastrophic when something goes wrong and even under the most optimal circumstances no one knows what to do with the waste.

But, from an oil and gas guy, I see it as a diversionary tactic :dunno:

At least that can be directly measured.  These climate models that are literally never correct are being used to make policy decisions because "science!"

Not true we use like 20% of the energy from nuclear and the only time you’ve ever heard of anything is from facilities built pre 1980. We’ve spent trillions on green energy since 1980 had we focused those resources into nuclear we would all have fission reactors in our house and it would be absolutely safe and zero carbon emissions. As a matter of fact deaths related to each type of injury shows nuclear as the lowest by a large margin

think about this we have had nuclear ships for how long now?  Ever hear of an issue?

Fission reactors in our houses?? C’mon now.

But a real conversation on nuclear, sure let’s have that. It’s the diversion from the oil and gas folks who don’t actually think anyone will go for it that I’m not too interested in.

you dont think 50 years of research could have produced that?

the first Air conditioner wasnt invented til the 1930's and now its easy and mainstream

when we as a country work on things to improve them we have no limits

I think it’s volatile by its very nature and produces toxic waste that can’t be stored safely anywhere, yet alone under your kitchen sink.

But it would be awful tempting. Is there actual science to back up this claim that newfangled reactors would never melt down? And what about the waste?

we might not have them in every house, but maybe every city has a location

as far as waste, I am not sure, but I know this, plastic used to be an issue for waste

Plastic still is. However it is not the most toxic substance ever known to man :dunno:

What is a diversionary tactic?  Myself and Skibum are the biggest oil and gas guys on this board an we both support nuclear energy.  Biden, AOC, Whitmer, etc are against nuclear as much as they are against fossil fuels.

This is the real inconvenient truth the world actually faces.   ttps://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/The-Difficult-Truth-About-Decarbonization.html

That’s the diversionary tactic. You think it’ll never actually happen so you cite it as a reason why green energy shouldn’t be promoted

and all I am saying is that Nuclear is the most regulated and difficult form of energy to even try to get into, had we invested 50 years of resources who knows where we would be, its also infinite

That would be incorrect.  Research should continue on renewables and maybe one day they will be viable on an industrial scale.  Nuclear is proven to be viable on an industrial scale. Unfortunately, politics will prevent it from being used more widely.  Poor developing countries around the world can not afford renewables or nuclear.  This fact is totally lost on Biden/AOC and people that support the farce that is the Paris accord.

Meanwhile, we’ll just keep on going with oil and gas.

Thanks for proving my point.

Valid point. It should be looked into but not as an excuse for not moving away from fossil fuels.

"Cutting off the nose to spite the face" is an expression to describe a needlessly self-destructive over-reaction to a problem: "Don't cut off your nose to spite your face" is a warning against acting out of pique, or against pursuing revenge in a way that would damage oneself more than the object of one's anger.

Most of Americans are for continued green initiatives.  

What they aren't is to spend Trillions of dollars and cut jobs and kill the economy to prove a point when the rest of the world are the culprits.  Y'all wiggers are crazy.

im all for all types, I also know the two most efficient are fracking natural gas and nuclear though

Tell your party to get their head out of their collective azzes.  Also, what is your solution for developing countries? Degrowth?  You really are ignorant about the reality of world energy consumption.  You don't want to deal with real issues you simply want to throw out political talking points. 

BTW my company owns wind, solar and geothermal facilities across North America and Europe and is also developing green hydrogen technology.  The only point that has been proved is you project your biased opinions based on no facts at all.

Fracking is what allowed the US to lead the world in emission reductions.  Natural gas at $2.00-$2.50 an MCF is what killed coal in this country.  Nat gas is the low emission solution that is currently underpinning the unpredictability for renewables and allowing them to continue to expand.

Damn that is weak.  As expected you are not prepared to have a real discussion about the environment, the reality of global energy consumption, population growth and global development.

Typical lawyer. You are not part of the solution so you will make money off prolonging the problem.  
 

Have a good evening.

I’m electrical not oil/gas, but I’ve been one of the biggest nuclear wonks on this bored.  I’ve often said that until the climate alarmists embrace nuclear as the obvious solution, it will remain a religious cult whose purpose swings between anthropomorphic guild and greed, not solving a climate problem.

Natural gas is the best alternative, but here we see the cult in action.  We can’t use that, it’s still a... A... fossil fuel$#@!  Yeah but it is a lot cleaner than others.  No matter, says the cult, we are going to let the perfect be the enemy of the good!

Nuclear is the way to go, I am not going to find my old posts, but they are still valid.

Modern nuclear reactors are safe and produce much less waste than previous designs. They are the way to go.
