Comment on We can do all three things at once

  Compared to Fossil fuels that’ll stay in the air for thousands of years while they essentially terraform the planet into something way less habitable for humans? How the hell is that more logical???

  Finland is a bit too north and cold for rapid deployment and storage of renewables. Although summer is excellent for solar, winter makes solar barely useful and can decrease some wind (newer designs help a lot with the snow issue).

  Germany is more stable, but electrical storage is still an issue, along with the larger population. Having planned at least 1 new power plant while decommissioning the older ones would have made a lot more sense while transitioning to 100% renewables. Spent nuclear fuel doesn’t use much space - the spent fuel can be stored underground in containers in deep bed rock in drilled shafts and then cemented over. It’s less effort and resources that what Germany’s many mining companies use extracting minerals or fossil fuels.

  Can’t do the same for all that pollution your damn lignite plants make though.

    No, investing in nuclear costs sooo much money. Money that would be missed for building reneweables. If the conservatives wouldnt have blocked the renewable boom we had in 2012, we would be much further. Im glad were out of that nuclear stuff.

    But why would you do that if you can just without.

      Well you see we kinda are failing at the whole mitigating climate change issue and we and we only have so many rare earth minerals to exploit for large scale battery storage banks. And every year we are burning more Fossil Fuels and shutting down more reactors and building no new modern designs and giving nuclear none of the funding the fossil fuel industry receives or the renewables industry receives.

        Because funding nuclear is just a hole with not bottom and it takes too much time. Money should be spent on other things.

    you dig a big hold drill sideways and back fill it.

  Brother its a mine-shaft or borehole not a resort and casino

  Isn’t water an issue under ground

    not that deep, also Fossil fuels are currently devastating our water and air. en.wikipedia.org/…/Horizontal_drillhole_disposal

      Its neat that the hole phases through the ground water aquifer without ever touching it.

  Not really no, it sounds logical and fairly simple.
