Like starting up a nuclear power plant to avoid burning fossil fuels?
And then using that salt to heat water into steam and using that steam to turn a turbine
The navies of the world love nuclear power, the U.S. has a nuclear navy since the 50s and in that time our investment into civilian nuclear has been pathetic
I agree anyone working a full time job should be able to afford a one bedroom apartment but minimum wage in 1940 was $624a year and an average apartment seemed to be $324 a year so to meet that same level of pay we would “only” need a minimum wage of 17.25. That’s still way more than the current minimum wage of 7.25 but not as high as $25/hr
More people die from wind turbines and hydro than from nuclear on a per tWh basis. If we actually want to save lives we would require higher levels of safety standards on fossil fuels that are magnitudes more dangerous than nuclear
Second time in 179 years sounds a lot more impressive than they endorsed the same party they did during the last election. They broke the seal in 2020 and will probably endorse someone again in 2028
There is approximately 15.77B acres of livable land and there are 8.2B people so if each person had just 1/4 acre that would be 13% vs if you gave each person 2000 sqft it would only be 2%. Then you need to factor in how to built transit for low density and how many more stores you need due to the lower density and you can see that it would be much better for the environment if we had higher density

The nuclear plant isn’t obsolete… it’s a PWR and with modern fuel cell designs it can reach the same efficiency as modern plants
