Nuclear energy:

Do you really think it'll be THAT EASY to bring it back?

He will hire good people

too political radioactive(kek) until an energy shortage crisis and climate change forces it upon us.

He3 fusion

1% of the energy is carried by fast neutrons. So it is a lot fucking safer than hydrogen fusion.

natural gas fracking will kill coal on its own. so long as CNG is cheaper than coal.

no one is building coal fired power plants in the USA.

When oil runs out, it's simple as that.
Bot fusion and renewable will remain memes.

Are you guys saying Trump wont do what he promised over and over?
Thats heresy

That's 1% of the energy of the D-3He reaction.

But you can't easily avoid D-D reactions, for which ~34% of the energy is neutrons (although only ~2MeV, which is comparable to 235U fission, rather than 15MeV for D-T).

Also, D-3He produces Tritium, which needs to be removed if you don't want D-T fusion.

On the plus side, the D-D reactions produce 3He, and the Tritium decays to 3He, so you only need enough 3He to bootstrap the reaction.

On the minus side, everything that isn't D-T has a power density that's 2 or 3 orders of magnitude worse than D-T.

Stop making nuclear threads and go back to your containment board

You're a faggot.

Wrong. The NRC is certainly not perfect but they're not themselves killing projects. Where projects often get fucked is when the EIS is done and they go to build. This is when activsts sue and the legal battle begins. The same is true of any large project but nuclear is where they find the most success. On the flip side, activists find the least success trying to stall the gas pipelines built after nuke plants are cancelled or shut down.

Also the affect of private utilities cannot be understated. They only care about money and thus have a natural aversion to anything capital-intensive. They're also prone to be friends with the oil industry.

energy is a Veeky Forums topic, quit being stupid
