We, the humanity, should go full nuclear

Holy fuckin based

The storage requirements are lower than everybody thinks, small high output renewables can make an excess of energy locally, the only power source that gets too shitty is solar during the nights.
So you can have excess combined power trying to keep the overall production high on average (if one goes down, other stays up, hydro is mostly constant and so forth) andsolar is the only one going to act consistently crap every day, usually fewer power is used during the night so this may help.
No idea how efficient and cheap generators are, but electricity from the government is expensive enough to justify some businesses buying their own combined cycle turbines. Smaller scales are messier because the generators are simpler and fuel usage is kind of high.

The waste needs to be stored for over 100,000yrs. Not a typo. So far, every single "long term storage" attempt has starting leaking, and it hasn't even been 50yrs.

No private insurance will touch nuclear power with 100mile pole, and that is just for strictly accidental release, not "act of god", terrorism or war. They wont even cover "just plain stupid". What does that tell you?

Your still a bunch a bunch of primitive monkeys. Worthless ugly annoying cunts.

Jews screwed whoever tried to use waste as a power source, like breeder reactors.
Some guy mentioned it's hot enough to be used without any additional steps.

I think 4th generation power plants have other technologies. It would be required only for hardcore power needs like this kike said:
Still they are so expensive and the output so low it's hard to justify using them (yet).

Then we use it as fuel on fast reactors.

All the nuclear waste produced can dit inside of a single walmart, or the 1st floor of the empire state building.

Nuclear waste is stored as a glass composite in a solid state. We already have the storage location built.

2 inches of lead drops radiation by a factor of 10. Distance drops exposure exponentially.

Nuclear power is a political problem masquerading as an engineering or financial problem.

Except they can reuse it in multiple different ways now. Keep up with science, chief, it isn't static.

Storage requirements are massive.

If we converted every piece of lithium mined in 2016 into storage we could run the US for a little over an hour, or the entire world for about 20 minutes.

We would need weeks of reliable storage to make up for renewables' intermittancy.

Completely false

Nuclear fusion is the future

>fast reactors
So where are they?
Russia has one small test reactor, France shut theirs down because it wasn't economically viable and Monju in Japan was a ckusterfuck that ran for a few months in 25 years.

>if no super efficient grid storage solution is found.

Oh, we have the solution.

you'd be surprised at how good and cheap they've gotten. and solar\wind is far more easily scalable and possible to produce locally at many different sites rather than the centralized plant model.
you need extra power for an area in your country ? you can buy extra mass produced panels and storage devices tomorrow wheres building another turbine or a whole new fission plant takes years. solar can also be highly decentralized wheres extremely complicated fission plants can have a handful of points of failure denying you the use of entire turbines.

generally the two complement each other with one just utilizing free solar EM but only half the time and the other offering flexible on demand power.

what is it ? they've been doing shit like pumping water to high reservoirs and shit like that but theres massive energy losses in that.

Don't forget that solar panels also eventually turn into tons of toxic and unusable electronic scrap.

Why? Fusion comes online in 20 years.

No need for traditional nuclear power.

Our greatest ally is AUSTRALIA! NOT ISREAL! I'm sick of people being unable to grasp this simple concept.

That's only solid fuel reactors brainlet not a modern liquid fueled one

Solar panels can store energy for later use. Thread nuked.

It just costs money to store waste, that's part of the costs of the powerplant. Most waste is low-level stuff, like contaminated gloves and suits which doesn't really matter if it leaks a little so you just wrap it up in plastic and pour a few tons of concrete around it, like you're disposing of a body. The high-level stuff is contaminated with plutonium and other nasty stuff, but it can be reprocessed to lower toxicity levels or vitrified (turned into glass). Vitrified nuclear waste is so inert you can wear it around your neck.
It's really not as big of a deal as people think it is. We have much higher natural background radiation than you'll find at a waste site.

They've been saying "20 more years" for over 50 years. Fission works just fine fuck your kike pseudoscience

Could you back that up, please? What exactly was false about that post?

>Fission works just fine
Not when you have literally hundreds of scientific breakthroughs waiting on the line for a small-scale and easy to carry nuclear reactor.

And the current solar, wind and hydro technology is extremely terrible on purpose. Better solutions nobody gives a shit about have an absurd amount of power and are much cheaper.
I'm not even considering other obvious sources like energy from organic trash, waste heat and all that.

Each decent renewable gets you 10 to 15 kW, so a microhydro station, a vertical (or high altitude or ducted or steerable or whatever) wind turbine and a concentrating solar have a peak power of 30 to 45 kW.
The regular monthly energy consumption (at least around here) is 150 kwh (5 to 3.5 hours of peak power).
You can have more repeated sources and all that, some devices have even more output, but what you have to store is a "buffer" to keep the available energy along the day near the minimum necessary for your home, not an entire day, month or anything.
This is hard to guess but it may not be that much.

So where are they? The only will is for PWR that produce the materials for nuclear weapons.

Also given the energy is "free" in high output renewables, you don't need to be efficient, just store enough energy.
