Reply to comment by BloodIsTaken in Germany plans to destroy this village for a coal mine. Thousands are gathering to stop it by LaminatedDenim

I don’t want to read all this or get in this stupid argument, but just wanted to say even the Russians are building mobile floating nuclear reactors.

It’s not an impossible task. Technology has advanced to make it much more safe, it just takes political willpower, which means support from the people.

Yeah, but it‘s a) stupidly expensive, b) takes very long to build, c) Germany got its uranium from Russia.

It‘s not a question of wether or not it‘s possible - it’s a question of wether practical - and it isn’t. It’s better to build wind and solar energy generators because they are cheaper, faster and easier to build. They don’t rely on fuel from Russia, they can be shut down in case of an emergency, they don’t risk destroying half a continent.

Building new NPPs now is not just stupid, it’s also a waste if money and resources.

Yeah much better idea to keep grinding away the earth to get a little bit of combustible coal residue out of it… taking 3 units of energy to produce 5 units of energy.

It’s simply brilliant, the pinnacle of modern caveman ingenuity. /s
