I believe that the thing you are responding to is about there being no power future in Nuclear. According to actual boosters of Nuclear Power, there are five million tonnes of Uranium in the world, with a plurality of it in Australia. That will last the world about a century. If we made a big investment into nuke plants, it would last the world about a decade. Maybe two if we found some big unknown reserves somewhere. There is just no way to power the world on Uranium. There isn't enough Uranium.Kaelik wrote:Wait... WTF? There's no power in nuclear?
Are you extra retarded? Energy we are not using that we can use is real energy when we use it.
Having lots more Iron in the ground doesn't mean we don't have more iron in every possible useful sense when we dig it up, just because it was on earth, and is still on earth.
On the other hand, the sun is going to last us a couple of billion years. So while it is also a limited commodity, we are going to be able to use solar derived power for longer than life has so far existed on the planet.
What we're probably going to end up doing is to set up giant solar arrays either in the middle of the ocean or in space, and then use the power to extract hydrogen from the sea and then ship that gas in giant explosive cans to power plants all over the world where electricity will be made the old fashioned way by burning hydrogen. But we're moving really slowly on that, so we can probably expect some periods of rolling blackouts along the way.
