BTW, coal and nuclear plants give zero f*cks about cold weather and also don't spike in price

[AgEngDawg]

like natural gas does.

A coal plant typically has a 90 day supply of coal ON SITE!!!

They literally stack the shit right at the plant.

A coal-fired power plant will keep rolling no matter what just like they have for over hundy years.

Well tested technology MFers!!!

Untill there is a good way to store energy without heavy metal batteries which lose a lot of their charge in cold weather Nuclear is the only clean sustainable energy answer. Blows my mind the left cannot see this, had this argument with my lib daughter a few weeks ago.

People think energy is created then stored for use but that is not the truth, it is a constant feed of power from an energy sources not a create/store and use at a later time.

What fries me is as we destroy our energy production and energy plants in favor of pipe dream inefficient green energy slush funds, China is building a coal plant a week, and likely not the modernized cleaner burning/scrubber equipped ones we build and have, old school dirty, fuck the environment ones.

When they do replace us as the lone super power, I will laugh if they get rid of all this lib environmental shit, since they won’t need to use it anymore as an excuse to control us.

Doesn't blow my mind when you realize they don't give a shit about it. It's a made up industry to ramp up subsidies and collect a huge pay day.

No she truly believes in it, which taking care of our environment is a noble cause but she has been brainwashed into thinking solar and wind are the answer. When I tried to tell her it wasn't about power production but about storage she just rolls her eyes.

I am not against taking care of our environment and yes I know China is the real problem but we should always strive to make our world a better place rather than a dirtier one. Innovation in Nuclear and Fusion are the answer unless someone can figure out a safe/cheap way to store energy renewables like solar and wind are not.

Well yea, I should've prefaced it a little. The acolytes believe it.

Neither do my sexy ass TVA hydroelectric dams.

The work being done on the SMR's (Small Nuclear Reactors) is intriguing... Could be a game changer if it pans out.

Op, please tell that to Texas nuclear power plants that shut down in the cold.

How and why a nuclear reactor shut down in Texas cold snap when energy was needed most - Washington Examiner

The shutdown of a nuclear reactor in Texas has contributed to the state's power shortage crisis caused by extreme cold weather.One of two reactors shut down at the South Texas Nuclear Power Station an hour southwest of Houston, knocking out about half of its 2,700 megawatts of generating...
