One way to save the planet: Build more nuclear plants

'About 30 miles north of Manhattan, the Indian Point Energy Center looms
over the banks of the Hudson. It produces 11 percent of the electricity
consumed in New York state and a quarter of the power used in the New
York City area. And that power is completely free of the carbon-dioxide
emissions associated with fossil fuels."

Just one, lots of u.s. tax payer money being shelled out to sway public opinion in support of nuclear, and you have only one solution, how pathetic

Nuclear Power Can Save the World

Expanding the technology is the fastest way to slash greenhouse gas
emissions and decarbonize the economy.

South Carolina, in a bid to expand its generation of nuclear power in recent
years, dropped $9 billion on a single project — and has nothing to show for
it.

That was 4 years ago. Now Hansen advocates for a carbon tax.

https://www.commondreams.org/news/2018/06/19/calling-global-carbon-tax-james-hansen-says-were-failing-miserably-tackling-climate

"Emissions aren't going to go down if the cost of fossil fuels isn't honest.
Economists are very clear on this," Hansen argued. "We need a steadily
increasing fee that is then distributed to the public."

https://www.theguardian.com/news/2017/dec/21/hinkley-point-c-dreadful-deal-behind-worlds-most-expensive-power-plant

At present, the estimated total bill for Hinkley Point C is £20.3bn, more than
twice the London Olympics.

“The maths doesn’t work,” says Tom Burke, former environmental policy adviser
to BP and visiting professor at both Imperial and University Colleges.
“Nuclear simply doesn’t make sense any more.”

The government estimates that the Hinkley top-up payments will cost consumers
around £30bn over the course of the 35-year contract. One of the few figures
on a comparable scale is the Brexit divorce bill.

Wind power revenues are subsidized around the planet, Ontario is a
representative example.

When the public finds out it's getting bilked 23-80 cents for a kWh that
wholesales for 3 cents, it gets mad, very very mad.

In Ontario, the public got mad enough to reduce the UN-fellating,
pro-renewables Liberal Party to a minivan party, i.e., the whole party
can now fit in a minivan.

"The low end levelized cost of onshore wind-generated energy is $29/MWh"

So how come price goes up with more wind and solar?

What makes you think it does.

in nations with more solar and wind.

All you've done is CONFIRM that taxes and levies are ALSO HIGHER in these
nations.
Yer suckin' wind with yer arse, twat boy.

Q: Should renewable levies and taxes be included in the price of renewable power?

Now that chumpsky got his ass kicked about the price of renewable energy
he will try to whine about subsidies.

Try again: Should renewable levies and taxes be included in the price of
renewable power?

Only as long as there are gigantic subsidies for dirty energy.

Your "Cite" is a crock of shit:

: Natural gas consumption also enjoys billions in subsidies in Canada. The
: IMF estimates that un-priced carbon emissions from burning natural gas
: added up to $7.3 billion per year.

"Unpriced."

They're saying that NOT taxing the air is actually a subsidy!

That's the subsidy: "We didn't slap a hugely regressive tax on you, which
is exactly like giving you money!"

What other taxes haven't they charged i.e. subsidized you with?

There's no breathing tax, right? So they're subsidizing breathing for
billions & billions of dollars every year....

Is there a urine tax?

What about a skin tax, for people who have skin?

NOT taxing these things is exactly the same as handing people money,
so it's a subsidy... according to you and your "cite."

Maybe he could pay for it with carbon taxes.

Wind revenues are 90% subsidy in Ontario. Tearing up the
contracts will more than pay for some new reactors.

So now 'saving the planet' is all about Ontario?

Wind power revenues are subsidized around the planet, Ontario
is a representative example.

Nope, it isn't.

Renewable subsidies are 25-250x more per unit of energy produced.

So end them all!

The RE industry will quickly collapse, while conventional energy might
go up a fraction of a percent.

More than 40 percent of world coal plants are already unprofitable. Without
subsidies it would be every single one.

Backflipping to yet another discredited talking point? Coal wasn't
unprofitable 20 years ago, lil yippy. Only became a money-loser
recently due to cheaper electricity from wind and solar as the
price continues to fall year after year.

South Carolina, in a bid to expand its generation of nuclear power in recent
years, dropped $9 billion on a single project — and has nothing to show for
it.

Such a plant costs a lot more than that. Russia pumped about that much
all by itself into an Eastern European plant under construction, and the
U.K. is investing like 3 times as much into new nuclear capacity...

The point is that the entire globe has "Woke" to nuclear energy. They were
handed wind & solar on a stick, backed by piles & piles of subsidies and
it convinced them that nuclear energy is a better option!

This is fact. A reasonable, rational person would view all this new nuclear
capacity coming on line and conclude that if they can't do it in North
Carolina than the problem isn't nuclear energy, the problem is political or
regulatory barriers.

Big. Difference.

Personally, I don't like nuclear power at all. But, it is superior in every way
to wind & solar.

I'm not angry at the nuclear folks for building new capacity. I'm angry at
the so-called "Green" crowd that fucked things up so badly that nuclear
energy is a viable & attractive alternative again....

Thanks, douche bags.

so why keep the real expenses of nuke plant construction hidden, nuke plant operating costs buried, fukushima cleanup costs under the carpet, oh yeah thats right chompers is for a "sunshine policy" for the data (laughing)

In behind-the-scenes projections, some experts predict that if such a critical meltdown of infrastructure expands beyond regional containment, anywhere from 60 to 90 per cent of the US population will be dead within roughly the first 11 months. While that prediction might appear extreme, it could conceivably be optimistic. In his 2008 testimony to the US House of Representatives on the threat posed by an EMP attack, Graham summarised the calculation, stating:

We don’t have experience with losing the infrastructure in a country with 300 million people, most of whom don’t live in a way that provides for their own food and other needs. We can go back to an era when people did live like that…10 per cent would be 30 million people, and that is probably the range where we could survive as a basically rural economy.
