Comment on Bill Gates-backed nuclear contender Terra Power aims to build dozens of UK reactors
Latuga17@lemmy.world 1 year agoWould you prefer using coal instead? If we are going to transition away from fossil fuels, nuclear will have to be a part of our new generation system.

I would prefer using renewable sources and cutting off the useless shit like private jets

The world would be a bit better if everyone flew coach or stayed home, but it would be a lot better if the developing world had access to lighting, air conditioning, washing machines, and transportation without a corresponding increase in carbon emissions.
Renewables (with storage and long-distance transmission) are part of the solution, but we need to invest in all viable forms of carbon-free energy like there’s no tomorrow, because if we don’t, then for a lot of people there won’t be.

The world can’t be better if the plan is to make things worst (planned obsolescence). Feeding these who got us there is not a solution to the problem

I definitely agree with you on how planned obsolescence and consumerism is a huge issue. But we still need energy from something and this sounds like a great start.
I’m all about the three R’s. Especially prioritizing the order they are in.
REDUCE and REUSE first, recycle only if needed.

Good luck. Any plan on how to?

Renewables don’t work.
Meowoem@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
That’s a very out of date talking point
DTFpanda@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Renewables power entire countries at this point. What the fuck are you talking about?
