It's only considered a problem because he doesn't agree 100%, only 95%.

I think it's more to do with frontier lifestyle when it comes to sci-fi. The infrastructure needed to charge an electric vehicle at a remote location is more costly and takes longer than a Jerry can. Now if you have a portable radioisotope generator in the hood with enough shielding and output...

Hopefully their can get those efficiency ratings at mass production numbers.

https://fortune.com/2022/09/28/hurricane-ian-florida-radioactive-waste-phosphate-mining/ I can't find anything about containers of waste, but this slurry is all from mining, not nuclear plants.

Just keep moving the goalposts, you've made a hobby out of it whenever the n-word gets dropped.

You can say the exact same thing about the lithium in batteries, cadmium in solar panels, copper in power lines, even the iron in wind turbines. It all has to be mined and eventually all of these systems need repair and/or replacement. The best part is that you don't get anywhere near the same...

People also selectively forget that cadmium and lithium need to come from somewhere. The return for materials mined is absurd on uranium.

https://www.ans.org/news/article-1882/nuclear-power-becomes-completely-renewable-with-extraction-of-uranium-from-seawater/ The tech is evolving, and that is on top of creating more energy per unit invested and producing less carbon. Solar is a great bridge and wonderful for small scale (like on...

Those are both about carbon emissions, it's why I specifically stated energy generation compared to energy invested. Nuclear is the greenest there is in terms of efficiency and carbon generation per kW. Even in the doc you just posted nuclear produces 13 carbon units per lifecycle operation and...

Yeah, everyone loves leaving out how much goes into solar and how ultimately you come close to breaking even with panels if you're lucky. Nuclear is pretty much the only source that produces more than needed to get it going and it's carbon neutral once in operation. But boomers gonna boomer...

The misspelled words are great. Better yet, nuclear is about as close to carbon 0 as you can get long term. Do they think oil just appears out of thin air?

There's basically no way to get disconnected from any kind of interdependence in modern society, but everyone should strive to add more than they take. Be it solar on your roof, not running your ac/heater while you're at work, running the laundry and dishes at night, little things all add up...

I'm holding my breath a bit for my king dorito to be my new business truck. The thought of even buying a maverick hybrid, as decent as they seem to be, gives me the googly booglies.

Here's my counter to all FUD, numbers. I replaced an F350 service truck with a Model Y and this is the difference, $17k in savings vs fuel costs. That doesn't even include oil and fluid changes, which probably puts it closer to $20k in savings.

This just makes me excited to plug welders and bench set ups into my king dorito.

I put them on hold.

That's rich coming from the same company that barely managed 27,000 mach e's in 2021 and has since halted us sales since they have no parts.

Wasnt that the normal f150s that were missing circuit boards?

I'm glad they're coming off the line. I hope the 47 people that get their trucks this quarter enjoy them.
