Three DOE National Labs (ORNL, ANL, INL) Report on the Conversion of Coal Plants to Nuclear Plants.

4. Cost to whom?

A nuclear plant is a gift to future generations. Wind and solar junk are liabilities, because they'll all be landfill in about 25 years.

Among the more important liabilities of course, is climate change, since the solar and wind industry entrench the use of dangerous fossil fuels.

I fully realize that the goal of antinukes is to find every single specious grounds to attack the only form of low carbon, reliable energy and oppose anything that kicks the wind out of their sails, but basically the goal of the current crop of nuclear engineers is not to satisfy bourgeois bean counters but rather to save the world for future generations.

This proposal, should it pan out, will achieve very high mass efficiency, as well as land efficiency, something that is particularly abysmal for the fossil fuel dependent solar and wind scam.

Have a wonderful week.
