On nuclear energy

<< < (2/2)

Tezuni:
Yeah it's a shame there haven't been new plants ordered since the 70s here in the USA.  That in mind, it's beyond impressive our country gets a whopping 19% of its electricity needs from such plants. 

If we made additional, modern plants, we could rely on it entirely.  Back in Hawaii, I went to the main power plant for the island, and they actually burn oil to generate electricity.  That oil uses even more oil to get shipped there too.  It's crazy! It makes power super expensive too.  I remember the electric bill being $800+ regularly. 

Prox:
I absolutely agree with what Xrain said on nuclear energy, it's an amazing way to generate energy. I also have have heard a bit about thorium reactor and that it is not only safer to use then uranium but is much harder to weaponize as well.
