Energy demands are too large for just solar and wind at the moment. Nuclear works nicely to supplement those until they become more efficient but nuclear has its own issues. Nuclear is still infinitely better than any type of fossil fuel so don't worry about the issues with adding more nuclear plants until we completely eliminate fossil fuel production.

TL;DR fuck Al Gore

OP here. I've heard arguments that they're really fucking expensive, but I've also heard argument that they're cheap as shit. What are they?
Like, are they just cheap once you get standardized reactors and economy of scale or?
Also, why the fuck is no one using IFR style breeder reactors? Whats with all the LWR, aren't those wasteful as heck?
(pls help, I'm not scientifically bright, but I've been trying to learn).

Retarded. People only like it because it sounds science-y

i don't know which cuck decided it was a good idea to use nuclear without having a waste-solution.

OP here, correct me if I'm wrong, but can't you feed the majority of the waste back into an IFR style reactor, and then take that tiny amount of residue, and bottle that shit up in special containers, and toss em into the deep ocean, where the pressure will take it and bury it under about 4 miles of ocean? Good fucking luck getting that shit for proliferation, terrorists.

It's hard to assess the true cost of nuclear because extreme government regulations/subsidies/what have you are in play. Based on everything I've read, it's cheaper than coal and more expensive than hydro if you exclude the possibility of a catastrophic event.

Damn Pripyat pic is just like Pripyat in stalker. Nice.

>nuclear power
hazmat waste
>solar or wind
no hazmat waste
Yes it's that simple, you morons.
