I am interested in hearing your opinions about nuclear power, what you know, if you have any fears, or ideas? Do you know if your country has any nuclear power generation?

    It would have been great if there was not the questions of;

    • costs: to operate and to build one.
    • safety (unfortunately, the times are less and less safe and having a big target that can devastate a huge are isn’t ideal).
    • there is no real plan for what to do with the nuclear waste. => shipping everything to and old salt mine is no longer viable.
    • yes it’s C02 neutral, but the impact on the enviroment to enrige the materials and later cool the radiactive material is also considerable.
    • are there even enough people that can operate one?
    • you still have realiance on others for the radiactive materials.
    • Just like other renewable energies the nuclear power plants are often not operating and out of the grid. (During this haat wave for example to river water was too hot to be used as coolant and the nclear powet plants had to be put of the grid.

    For all this I think it’s a waste of resources to invest on an old technology thats sounds cool but has been proven to have many major drawbacks, compared to what it has to offer. So I’m all for using these resources in renewable energy sources, how to be more efficient with them, how to improve the accumulation capacities and how to have grids that are cimpatible with them.
