minus-squareWanderer@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·8 months agoMy bet that is sarcasm and people are stupidly downvoting you. No one seems to get sarcasm on this website.
minus-squareTheMightyCanuck@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·8 months agoYeah we definitely need to figure out a way of implying sarcasm without having to state it specifically. Oh well, we’ll never figure it out /s
minus-squareVathsade@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·8 months agoWe need to accept a premium for the cleanest and safest baseload generation we have.
minus-squareDiplomjodler@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·8 months agoYou can build a lot of batteries for 35 billion. And those don’t produce waste that you have to store for millennia.
minus-squarexmunk@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·8 months agoSome modern nuclear reactor models produce less long-term waste than batteries.
minus-squareDiplomjodler@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·8 months agoHypothetically. None of those are anywhere near to actually being built.
minus-squareTheMightyCanuck@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·8 months agoLmao and what about battery waste when they’re past their lifespan in 15 years?
minus-squaresilence7@slrpnk.netOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·8 months agoAt the cost it comes in at, it competes with longer-duration energy storage. Very expensive, and only has value to the extent that it reduces the need to build storage instead.
