Holy moly it's insane what uneducated people just spout on the internet like it's fact lol. Ex muslim here. It's the first house of God. Aka a mosque. In arabic mosques are "masjid". They are all houses of god. You go to any to pray. Muslims will go for hajj once in their life. It's not to worship a box. Or a stone. It's pilgrimage to the first house of God to pray the way the prophet did in his lifetime. Please... just stop spreading misinformation. You guys are all ridiculous lol. If Christians could go to church and pray at the Vatican Wouldn't that be neat? It's just a different, holy-er location. Has nothing to do with sucking off the pope. Or worshiping his location. Come on guys lmao. And the people Dying? Religion didn't do that. It was bad planning to go at such a hot time. Some people set up this trip months in advance. God didn't smite them. Religion didn't advocate for them to die in the heat. It was poor planning. Not everyone can afford to go at the best time available. People die on the beach from heat. It's not the beaches fault. Please stop lmao.

I don't know, the Muslims I've known believe some pretty strange things about the Kaaba and the black rock, and that Zamzam water. Christians believe some dumb shit, too, and I've said worse about Christianity and no one says I'm spreading misinformation or being Christianophobic. The Abrahamic religions (except for the actual wisdom literature that came out of it) are just dumb, all three of them.

The issue with current reactors is that they take too long to set up. Then they may not be operational for as long as advertised, then you've got a stupidly expensive building that can't be knocked down to make way for something else.

Wonderful argument. Nuclear power is safe - while it's heavily regulated to ensure it's safe. To fix costs - let's get rid of all that pesky regulation that keep the costs up. I understand you think that regulations can be removed and safety won't crash. But your expectations or safe nuclear operations have been measured WHILE it's heavily regulated. Accidents like Chernobyl and Fukushima happened because regulation was either weak or circumvented (but circumvention is a sign of weak regulation in itself).

That is not what I was saying. One major cost for nuclear is storage of spent fuel. Which if you talk with experts is not a very big issue. But if you force owners to dig bunkers that are to be safe for thousands of years, costs rise a lot. Another factor that has caused significant increases in recent projects is regulatory meddling - I am all for very strict requirements, but the problem is that these projects take a lot of time during which you will often see elections in between, which causes regulatory bodies to change requirements during the process. Anyone with experience of a big building project knows that this is very costly. The root cause for this is public paranoia about nuclear power.

> non cost competitive with renewables This is a lie. Renewables are indeed much cheaper and faster to setup. But this isn't the whole story. When comparing what produces more energy 1000 MW of nuclear or 1000 MW of solar. The answer is undoubtebly the nuclear. Depending on where you are solar can have a capacity factor of 17%. Nuclear can have capacity factor of 95%. So you're looking at a yearly average output of 170 MW from solar and 950 MW from nuclear. If you're interested in running a grid and having your lights / fridge on at home then you need a stable electric grid. By making your electricity dependent on unstable weather you're running into big issues. The cost increase for renewables is from trying to take an unstable source and turning it into firm power. If you're an investor and want to make electricy, then renewables are amazing! They are cheap / fast to install, require very little workers to operate. You can usually get the government to pay for part of your installation. Depending on your contract you can even get paid when the grid has too many renewables and needs to curtail you. If you can get your curtailments paid for, it's a no brainer. You're making $$$$$. The grid might have problems, but that's not your problem.

With lots of solar, price can be very cheap, even negative in the middle of the day. Electrical grids in commercial areas are also more suited to charge a lot of ev batteries at once, unlike residential areas which would need upgrading. Your car fully charged and plugged into the grid when you arrive home after work then becomes a valuable asset able to put energy back into the grid at peak demand. There are ev subscription services that let you basically charge your car for free and they make their money from the electricity price arbitrage.

even if they got investment, nukes will never see the kind of cost reduction from scale that solar did. They would get somewhat cheaper yes, but they are fundamentally complicated, expensive, big pieces of equipment, that require big facilities and security, even for SMRs. Solar is dead simple in comparison, very amenable to mass manufacturing. Nukes will never be cheap.

2018 is incredibly out of date for solar costs. You can tell, because it talks about solar thermal which is a totally dead technology in 2024 due to how much cheaper PV has become. Also in 2024 we have a panel surplus, not a supply chain exhaustion. Things are changing very fast in this segment, 2018 is practically irrelevant. You can pick any random source for 2024 and it shows grid solar with a vastly lower LCOE than nuclear: https://www.statista.com/statistics/194327/estimated-levelized-capital-cost-of-energy-generation-in-the-us/ https://decarbonization.visualcapitalist.com/the-cheapest-sources-of-electricity-in-the-us/ https://ourworldindata.org/cheap-renewables-growth idk what to tell you, its not cherry picking, its widely understood and not controversial that solar is much cheaper than nuclear today, per mwh. Adding storage makes that less straightforward, harder to find numbers for that.

Looking at statistics would be useless, because not every unregulated hellhole have nuclear power, but every unregulated hellhole does engage with fossil fuels. It's not a surprise that nuclear power is way safer statistically when the countries that mostly use it are very regulated and take safety seriously (one obvious exception led to a meltdown that rendered an entire region uninhabitable and yet could have been worse). Now hypothetically put every unregulated hellhole in charge of nuclear power, and you're telling me you're not at all worried about what that might end up looking like?

So we should keep those regulations? You can't have it both ways. Nuclear, if operated safely, is expensive. Period. That's just how it is. Nuclear is in decline because of high costs and long project lead times, not environmental groups that have never had any real power or influence. Wind, solar, and batteries installations are accelerating faster than nuclear ever has in the past, and certainly faster than it can now. The question is if money invested in nuclear would be better spent in renewables/storage projects, which is becoming overwhelmingly the case. The old "but what about baseload" arguments are becoming increasingly irrelevant as battery production ramps up. Electrification of transportation (and vehicle to grid systems) will further accelerate grid storage. Essentially the only cases I can see for nuclear will be for smaller countries that don't have neighboring electricity import partners where seasonal renewable variations are significant, and potentially to supply desalination. It may be necessary, but it will be more expensive than predominantly renewable grids.

Those regulations are written in blood, though. Not by environmentalists. There are more than a few lead coffins that can attest to the need for caution. I’m 100% pro nuke power but it’s not quite true that environmentalism is to blame for its demise.

Probably true, but most countries will be fine skipping nuclear and just relying on solar, wind, batteries, storage and a small amount of peaking plants. Countries that have harsh winters and low opportunities for wind power, probably need some nuclear. The world needs nuclear doesn't mean it's the best option for every country to make deep cuts to emissions. Mainly since nuclear is a much more expensive option.

You are aware that replacing coal is an continuous process happening with each new wind turbine and solar? Yes, the political theatre around the nuclear exit in the last two decades and strategic opposition hindered an earlier transformation. However, going with nuclear, *right now* we would have to tolerate 400g COe quite a while longer. Also I'm quite sure the 400g is not the right amount for 365 days time frame

It'll be a decade before you see long haul electric trucking for a lot of reasons. It'll be a gradual transition from city trucking to intercity to interstate. There's no telling what the engineered solution will end up being (hot swapping batteries, shorter ranges, autonomous cargo delivery, etc). Worrying about what the charging station will look like at this point isn't necessary because the logistic infrastructure hasn't been determined.

Depends. Probably the owners, but the main issue with nuclear power is that is very unfairly treated. Nuclear companies essentially actually pay the costs involved (with exceptions for Fukushima like events), whereas coal and oil are heavily subsidized by not having to follow similar regulations on ensuring that any harmful effects are neutralized.

Well you can't really do that in an equal way either, because renewables dont generate nearly as much energy as coal. Renewables at the moment just cant generate as much power as "conventional" means and wont make up a big enough share of the power supply pie to make a big enough impact.

it would take an average of 200w to power a car for the average UK driver, which comes out to 14,000 mw. Depending on the size of the plants, 6 seems fairly accurate. The nuke by me puts out 2,250 mw. Edit, this is assuming 1 car per person which I realize might be a bit much for the UK.

Which is a cost, which also has a limited life span, so you need massive over capacity (as wind/solar is about 40% efficient based on capacity) AND the storage, which if chemical needs to be replaced after 20 or so years, same with solar panels and wind turbines. Nuclear is great for baseload.
