True story: you absorb more radiation living next to a coal plant for a day than you do straight up swimming in the reactor cooling pool of a nuclear plant.

Also water is really good at stopping radiation as it turns out

Coal may be bad but at least you don't have to keep all those blue and red tablets in balance

I just want you to know that I both get and appreciate this.

We should just upgrade to burning fat, a renewable resource! Someone do a cost study on liposuction as a mining replacement.

Capacitors of those values would do a much better job filtering out high frequencies.

I have heard the difference isnt anywhere near as significant when you factor in the enormous carbon cost of building the plant itself. Apparently cement production is very co2 heavy. Could all be internet bullshit tho!

Apparently cement production is very co2 heavy. Could all be internet bullshit tho! Nah it's actually more or less the same as wind energy. Problem is more that there's a lot of co2 emissions front loaded, it takes between 10 and 20 years for them to become carbon neutral. Adding that to the 10 year average build time, the earliest that nuclear is beneficial for the environment is 20 years. Just build more renewables and use batteries/hydrogen/gravitational batteries whatever. Nuclear would have been great 30 years ago, not now.

Apparently cement production is very co2 heavy. Could all be internet bullshit tho! Coal power produces about 1,000kg CO2 per mWh, a ton of concrete produces about 180kg of CO2 (I believe that includes energy for production) so assuming a small nuclear power plant with a production rate of 200mWe, and assume it takes 1 million tons of concrete to build the plant, (and that building the coal plant is somehow 0 emission) it would take about 900 hours of operation to offset the initial CO2 cost, or less than a year.

So the best option is to convert coal/gas to nuclear, while new build are green energy.

Nuclear is green energy. Literally, glowing.

Despite the benefits of nuclear I am still somehow a fan of numetal.

Slippery posted:Sure but what constitutes a non-fatal dose of bullets? I could probably swallow about a dozen of small calibre bullets (like .22) and easily pass them. Possibly even more, but I'm not a big guy, so maybe in a couple of sittings. Now, obviously, even one .50 would be lethal no matter what.
