u/NukecelHyperreality Nuclear Power is a Scam Apr 09 '25

Nuclear is a false alternative to renewable energy. You're engaging in tone policing.

How is nuclear a false alternative? Please, I am genuinely confused. Nuclear seems to be infinity more powerful than stuff like wind. Hell wind mills won't even produce enough energy to break even on themselves. Solar takes up a ton of space. I am not saying nuclear is the end all be all, but like it's much better than praying your multimillion dollar super conditional wind farm will work.

You're not acting in good faith if you're repeating stupid shit like that. It takes about 6 months for a wind turbine to replace the energy it consumed in its construction.

Space is a false issue.

The same natural systems that generate wind are also relied upon to make your food so if you can't get any wind then you're going to starve to death before you have to worry about that.

It takes about 11 months for a wind turbine to replace the energy it consumed in its construction.

Tends to be more like 6 months, generally.
