A majority of Americans (57%) say they favor more nuclear power plants to generate electricity in the country, up from 43% who said this in 2020.

When asked about the federal government’s role, 41% of Americans say it should encourage the production of nuclear power.

Let’s get those new construction contracts signed!

    You’re getting not respecting you and being an asshole confused. You need to earn respect by not pulling idiotic word games.

    Just like you can’t comprehend the distinction between electricity and energy,

    And I don’t have to use your tortured intentionally wrong methodology.

    6e6 tonnes. 80-100TJ/tonne in an SMR or 140TJ/tonne in a LWR. 300EJ of final energy per year. 6e6 * 140e12 / 300e18 = 2.8 years.

    Very simple. There aren’t tens of millions of tonnes of weapons grade U or spent fuel lying around so both are irrelevant.

    You’re attempting to start that gish gallop about breeding and re-encrichment again. Both are irrelevant to the topic.

      Yikes! Take a chill pill homie. Or buy some weed if it’s legal in your region.
