sad to see the reg change from an indepent site to an ideological propagandasite over the last 20 years with loads of sycophants inhabiting the comment section. this site went from a bastion of independant IT news to a propagandistic rag...

Re: What about the operational costs?

Waste issue has been solved long ago, see argonne labs EBR-(2) and the IFR design that came from it.

dwieske

Re: What about the operational costs?

getting stuck with waste is A CHOICE as the technology to get rid of the bulk of waste has existed for decades, but the implementation of it is being blocked by the anti-nuclear sentiment and the pression groups who get all their funding from fearmongering desinformation about nuclear. I live in belgium, we could, if we chose to replace our current fleet with GENIV's like the GE PRISM, and power our country for over a century using our current waste as fuel....in the end 98% of the waste will have been converted to energy, the remaining tiny amount will not contain any isotope with a half life over 2 centuries...

the whole energyproblem has been technically solved a long time ago, but politics and ideologies are preventing the implementation...

Lawrence Livermore lab repeats fusion breakthrough – yep, still kinda works

abandoning baseload is extremely stupid....we got there because media and people allow the ecoknobs to gaslights everyone by calling baseload "not flexible" and not able to adapt to the randomness of solar/wind. Seems like reliability and efficiency are considered a bad thing. Net Zero is a falacy....Application of the stuff has led to increases in exhaust, not lessingen carbon output as is clearly demonstrated by germany and denmark

Re: "Beyond the shores of the USA nope that's not the case."

if you are okay with political violence, you are part of the problem...End of story you have a very fascist approach to things for someone claiming not to be a fascist....seems the biggest racists, censorers are the leftist nowadays

Re: "ANY thoughtless radical loons are a pointless scourge, of course."

left wingers want to silence, by violence if needed, anyone that is not an extreme leftist, see what happened in portland, at the minds IRL event, heard of andy ngho?

dwieske

posting garbage conclusions from garbage research using nonsensical methodology = fake news

seriously, wtf is up at the register????? you would expect the reg to EXPOSE the absolute nonsense behind this "research" as it has been exposed by other journalists already.... (tim pool eg.)

dwieske

and so it happens that el reg turns into another fake-news-rag, in fact it it clear it radicalises to the left, as was illustrated by a hilarious article in the NYT where a moderate moved slightly right (oh the horror), to end up being a leftwind extremist....

Renewable energy 'simply won't work': Top Google engineers

Re: And thorium cycle nuclear power is even better!

no need to wait for a thorium design to do this, any gen IV (like the GE PRISM) can do this today, it's even safer than a MSTR and you don't need to mine anything to power it, we already have enough nuclear waste and nuclear warheads to power the world for centuries with this type of reactor

dwieske

Re: Nuclear Power

indeed thorium has no advantage over other gen IV designs like the IFR and is much less mature

dwieske

Re: Nuclear Power

there is no advantage in using thorium over any other GEN IV design, but the thorium designs are much LESS mature..I"ll take a GE Prism (IFR type reactor) over a thorium pipedream every time

dwieske

Re: I seem to remember

the neverending cost is the infrastructure you need to cope with the unrealiability (inttermittency)

dwieske

Re: Then we're fucked

not true, we will much sooner run out of the resources to built the renewable shit than run out of eg nuclear fuel we have a 20k+ years of supply, and that's not even into account filtering uranium from seawater

dwieske

Re: I seem to remember

you make no sense at all, making ignorant statements is easy, but useless...

ONLY 20km from geothermal energy? we have never, in the history of humanity drilled that deep, the current record is 12km, drilling deep isnt as simple as you are....

the wattage per square meter from solar radiation is next to nothing, not "impressive", the surface area you would need to replace a single proper plant is enourmous, and I'm not even bringen unrealibility (mistaken for intermittency) and limited production hours into the equation.

renewables as stop gap to fusion is beyond retarded and the fact you propose that shows you did not even read this article, or didn't understand it....the only sensible stopgap to fusion is called nuclear energy, preferably GEN IV as that would give us a few centuries to get rid of our nuclear waste while generating power with it.....getting rid of nuclear power and destroying humanity by going "renewable" is also an EXPLICITE choice to get stuck with nuclear waste forever....

you are absolutely clueless on this subject and should really stop putting that on display you used many many words, but not a single statement you typed made ANY sense in this reality....could we please divert the money wasted on "renewable" to education so we can put a stop to this kind of destructive nonsense? fyi, nuclear reactors are SMALL but produce enormous amounts of power very reliably 24/7, they are FAR cheaper than renewables (eg. 1billion euro for a 700+MW prism plant that runs on nuclear waste vs 3 billion for a 300mw solar collector which only produces a few hours a day)....

stop being a part of the problem, STOP lobbyen for us to get stuck with nuclear waste forever and mainly stop participation in discussion on subject you are 100% clueless about...

Re: where there's a will

it's actually worse than the radioactive material created by nuclear power toxis stuff stays toxic pretty much forever, radioactive stuff decays (and this can be accelerated WHILE producing more energy)... we really should stop destroying the environment and people's wallet, one windmill/solar panel at a time.

Re: Anyone know of the Fire Brigade issue ?

there's also the increased risk of fire, and due to the insulating effect the size of the fire increases much more rapidly in a house with PV cells...Those things kill

Re: Nuclear -> Solar?

solar/wind guarantee a lockin with fossil plants as they are the cheapest form of backup capacity.

anyone lobbying for solar/wind is in fact lobbying for more coal/gas/oil plants

dwieske

Re: Why you should install them

you clearly are ignoring the 20+ fossil plants the krauts are building as backup for their pv/wind bullshit, of which at least 7 coal plants btw....you can not in any way or form just "close" plants due to PV/wind UNLESS you have installed the necesarry buffer capacity, which incidently costs multiples of the production capacity.

on a society which needs power 24/7 making the (very dubious and most likely falsified) claim that for 1 hour on 1 single day 'it did well" is completely irrelevant. people buying into crap like that are a huge part of the problem and are the ones guaranteeing stuff that actually kills, like coal plants for a looooong time.....hood thing you got 30k, better thing your lack of conscience doesn't cost you any sleep in the knowledge that that money come from poor have-nots...

the road to hell is paved with good intentions is the PERFECT motto for this nonsense....steal from the poor, give to the richt, destroy the environment in the process.....and claim you're doing good

dwieske

Re: If...

it would also be awesome if the REAL cost of this nonsense, meaning the adaptation of the power network and the installation of buffer/replacement capacity from when sun/wind is absent would not mainly be payed by those who can't even afford PV panels.....this PV/wind scam is just a reverse robin hood situation, give to the rich, steal from the poor, destroy the environment and our longterm future in the process

dwieske

Re: If...

true, any real environmentalist would be lobby'ing for more nuclear production...stats don't lie, nuclear is best for the environment by an ENOURMOUS margin (esp. GENIV like GE PRISM reactors)

dwieske

implementing solar is NOT a move away from coal/gas etc. but a lock-in as those provide the necessary backup capacity for the hidiously unreliable and inefficient solar panels....this massive trend towards solar is one of the biggest environmental disasters of the recent years. The main issue with solar/wind is it's intermittency, studies have been done and implementing the needed energystorage en smartgrid/storage would consume WAY too much resources and drive up energyprices factor 10 or 20.

so called environmental organisations are actively campaigning the destruction of our environment with their ideas of implementing these techs in industrialised countries.

There is only ONE place where solar/wind makes sense: developping countries without an electricity grid.....place em there and you increase the living condictions astronomically....place em here and you are actively helping to destroy the environment while turning electricity into a luxury commodity

A perfectly working, mature design of an MSR can be built TOMORROW: the GE PRISM reactor based on the reactor that ran for decades at Argonne Labs (the IFR design) untill "Friends of the Earth" handed a big pile of cash to Bill Clinton to cancel the program in 1993.

Yep a perfectly working, extremely safe GEN IV design that can run on waste and can be built tomorrow...

Re: No Radiation?

actually the senseless evacuation has made more victims that the radiation, your can' count deaths/sickness caused by poorly reacting to an accident to please immoral fearmongerers as "deaths due to nuclear power"

Greenpeace and other scum are causing the real damage when it comes to nuclear power, not the tech itself

dwieske

Re: No Radiation?

I guess you're one of those illegical beings that value "potential for problems" more importantly than the several hundreds of thousands of fatalities from other power sources EACH YEAR. stop the fearmongering pls

http://nextbigfuture.com/2011/03/deaths-per-twh-by-energy-source.html

Data from the W.H.O. was used

but how about you stop being lazy and start doing your own research? any time you voice you uniformed oppinion, or criticise some else's informed oppinion could be used to increase your knowledge...

Anyone with a high school education understands why coal is deadly and is smart enough to realise amount of victims is huge, as coal is widely deployed...

One of the issues that pisses me off most is the fact that people who don't even have an elementary school level of scientific knowledge never let this stop them from voicing their "oppinion" which is usually just a regurgitation of some moronic group like greenpeace

dwieske

why even post this kind of nonsense

why store nuclear waste when you can use it to generate power from it in new plants... oppinions based on ignorance are pretty useless...how about you catch up on stuff....like the fact that the nuclear waste issue was solved decades ago....

dwieske

you think you sound smart, but you miserably fail to consider the scale of using storage for mass energy production.....unless you have no issue running depopulation programs to create room for storage...

dwieske

Re: @Invidious Aardvark

there are no nuclear waste dispocal issues as nuclear waste from GEN I and II plants is fuel for GEN III/IV, the stuff that comes out of GEN IV needs to be stored for appr. a century before it's safe......the toxins from eg. making PV cells however do stay toxic forever....

dwieske

people will never get it....coal costs 100000+ lives each year, and most of the very very vocal but very poorly informed public still thinks that it's nuclear that kills......doing an honest evaluation (deaths per produced quantity of power eg. per TWH) nuclear is the safest form of electricity BY FAR, this is perfectly illustrated in many countries eg. belgium where 4 decades of nuclear has not made a single victim, while coal/oil/biomass kills several each year, and the placing of PV has already cost 3 lives in the past 5 years...

if you are ideologically blind like most so called environmental organisations/parties then dead people only count if their death is caused by something you object too.....this completely disrespect for the fact that EACH human life counts by greenpeace and other scum is scandalous....

dwieske

Policy based on beliefs is shit (sharia etc)...how about we look at it scientifically.....when looking at the reality of the situation there is no denying nuclear is the SAFEST form of energy, and the waste problem got solved decades ago, yet the anti-nuke jihadi still propagate the lie that it hasn't...

dwieske

There is no "nuclear waste problem" it was solved in the 70's!!!!!!!

there is no nuclear waste issue, providig we finally start building new plants....A lot of the new design RUN on waste (eg. the GE PRISM, the Myrrha reactor being built in belgium).....people lobbying AGAINST new plants being built are actually lobbying to be stuck with nuclear waste forever (like greenpeace and other scummy orgs)

dwieske

Re: Well...

I would prefer a pollution free gen IV plant like a GE prism, running on nuclear waste or retired warheads...wind power does not solve the issue of medical isotopes or the problem of our current stockpile of waste and warheads....GEN IV's do, and they are FAR less lethal and far more environmentally friendly than wind (than anything actually)

dwieske

This is plain wrong as it’s obvious they did not take into account the increased network cost, NOR the required storage/backup for wind (backup would be fossil). Also this kind of data tends to be manipulated as well by “playing” with the cost factors of coal….it’s a big difference if you take the cost of plain coal vs coal +css vs coal +css + carbon certs…

Also just looking at eg. The Danish situation, it’s blatantly obvious wind does not even come close to coal…. Nuclear does however and it’s still the “greenest” tech we have in the long run (meaning lowest amount of carbon + fine dust pollution) also there is no WASTE PROBLEM, not since the waste issue was solved in the 70's ....that doesn't stop greens extremists from lobbying to stop the implementation of the solutions...while simultanously continue to harp on the non-existant "waste problem"

You guys aren’t stupid, take your fact checking a bit more serious please…
