Never forget the future that was taken from us.
Of course, mother!
Thank you Junior. Don't forget to wear you shoes when you go play in the asbestos pit at school. I put two cigarettes in your lunchbox you can have one at lunch if your teacher says its okay and one on the way to home after your shift at the radium watch painting factory.
It’ll come back eventually unless fusion takes over. The power density promises are simply too attractive.
Never mind that pesky burning taste, imagine the power savings!
It always smells like bloody sinus in our house after changing the wafer.
That means it's working!
The mining and processing of the "fuel" is not. The cost of the plants and the risks neither. That's why nuclear is slowly losing to regenerative.
Btw, from the World Nuclear Industry Status Report 2024 > Key Insights:
Russia is also playing a key role in the supply of fuel services, involving uranium mining, conversion, and fuel assembly manufacturing for Soviet-designed VVER pressurized water reactors, of which there are 19 in the E.U. and 15 in Ukraine. International sanctions have had little effect on the business. On the contrary, the share of Russian supply of natural uranium, conversion, and enrichment services to the E.U. all increased between pre-war year 2021 and 2023; VVER fuel imports doubled.
And you can see all of my points confirmed in that report.

Thank you Green Peace /s
Bunch of short sighted uninformed hippies
Funded by fossil fuels. The scariest concept to a capitalist is something being too cheap to matter.

Too 👏 cheap 👏 to 👏 meter
Given the up-front cost of any kind of reactor, I don’t think the concept of a usage-based electric bill goes away as long as it’s corporations competing for customers. Maybe eventually it would be like ISPs where it’s a flat fee depending on the size of your connection. I guess it could be totally unmetered then.
Like so many things, it gets a lot simpler if it’s the government supplying the service.

"Timmy you left the aluminum foil on the atomic wafer!!"
"By golly Tim you shattered space time and opened a black hole!"
"My apologies mother and father, I have been absent of clear cognition."
Look at his face, he's 100% gonna eat that.
Uranium has so many calories, he will never have to eat again
There's a timeliness where tiktok kids are eating atomic wafers as a challenge.

Wait a sec, I was told American's don't use the metric system...
The imperial system doesn't have any electromagnetism units that I'm aware of, so they borrow from SI.
We can use horsepower hours if you’d like. Or BTU
I'm all for paying my electric bill in horsepower/hours. That feels very American. How many V8s is my house?
I'd be horsepower * hour, since horsepower is a unit, of, well, power, and [Energy] = [Power]*[Time]
But might as well go for an obscure time unit as well at that point. Horsepower Sennights, baby

She's right there. This is literally a power play to force her kid to do a pointless task.
Do you want to be Malons? This is how you become Malons. /s
Clean! Safe!! Too cheap to meter!!!
