Idk about you but in a world where collapse is a distinct possibility, I’d rather not have a bunch of nuclear facilities just hanging around.

You should inform yourself better. Nuclear power plants are not like on the Simpsons.

I know nuclear power plants need vast amounts of water pumped around them to keep them cool. If the worst of the climate models come true (which is likely as it stands) and we have mass civil unrest, there’s no guarantee water and power will flow to them.

It’s an unnecessary risk, we have other options.

You think the seas are just going to dry up? You’re more dense than the uranium powering these plants.

Lol “water exists so how can a nuclear power plant possibly not get it”. Who’s the dense one here.

Keep being a science illiterate retard lmao

On the one hand, I think that’s great. We need more nuclear power to mitigate the climate disaster.

On the other hand, I don’t trust anything Bill Gates does after he totally fucked up the U.S. education system.

I’m sorry don’t you think Bush, among many others, had something to do with that as well? There are more oligarchs than just Gates. The leaders of Big Tech are so far up their own ass you don’t even realize you’ve followed them in there.

I’d cheer if it was Thorium. Uranium is only going to get more expensive. And I worry Bill is only after the tech that goes into UK submarines powered by these small RR reactors.
