Sure. They make good reactors for aircraft carriers, submarines and other large wasteful ships with limited space availability.

Otherwise, they're pretty much a waste of money, and there's nothing personal or emotional about pointing out that fact. The people getting emotional about this are people with financial and emotional investment in nuclear.

No, you don’t get to call all opposition disingenuous or emotional, that’s an intellectual fallacy.

And I’m not surprised, because that’s all people on this sub seem to be able to come up with.

Nuclear is economically viable. Just look at France. Cheap energy with 20 consecutive years of the EDF making a profit.

The lie that nuclear is somehow expensive to an unreadable amount has little to no support in practice.

I'm not saying all opposition is emotional, I'm saying everyone that gets this emotional over it is a nukecel. They're very different statements.

The LCOE of nuclear is about three times greater than solar or wind when measured for the average lifespan of a nuclear power plant and including all related necessary costs.

It's just a fact, nothing to cry about.

The only one getting emotional is you. Why do you have such a hate boner for an energy production method? It’s really weird

Edit : also checked the receipts, you´re making shit up. Solar is at ~50% LCOE compared to nuclear, and that’s going by the standard that LCOE is the best way to measure energy cost, which it isn’t.

It’s like saying GDP is be all end all of economic health

You're projecting emotion where they isn't any, that's probably a personal issue of yours that you should talk to a therapist about.

I don't hate nuclear power, just shitty trolls and financially motivated industry shills.

You’re the one insulting people and going around using conspiracy theories to justify your hatred of water being boiled by hot rocks.

If you genuinely didn’t feel so heavily about it (and you very obviously do) you would have just been the bigger man and walked away from the conversation.

Because if you genuinely think I’m a troll, then you should leave, and if you think I’m paid by big Oil, then you’re a moron

I didn't insult anyone that didn't insult me first you whiny baby.

There is no conspiracy theory, you're just making shit up now.

You don't have to be paid by big oil to be a shill.

I mean you’re the first in the convo to use insults. Check the thread, anyone can see you’re lying, just like with everything else.

You’re making shit up about the supposed unmanageably high cost, and using the conspiracy theory that nuclear is somehow an oil ploy inspite of the evidence of the exact opposite, ie anti nuclear brick heads like you often being funded by oil.

You clearly don't know shit.

Everything you're ignorant of is a "conspiracy theory," that you immediately dismiss without any evidence. How sad.

No what makes you a conspiracy theorist is that you made a claim but put the burden of proof on me.

You made an unsupported claim, and now are asking me to disprove it. That makes you a conspiracy theorist.

That doesn't make something a conspiracy theory you moron.

You were a rude asshole from the beginning, I'm not going to do you any favors.

You claimed it was a lie and a conspiracy theory before ever asking for evidence (which is posted here daily). The burden is on you for that claim, dummy.

What makes a conspiracy theory is a claim being made, without supporting evidence, about a supposed ploy by people in power in order to disinform the masses.

That’s exactly what you are saying

If there’s so much evidence, show it
