You really do need to learn when you are simply advocating stupid ideas for the sake of arguing.a fan wrote: ↑Thu Aug 25, 2022 3:58 pmSo earthquakes have, in the last 100 years, leveled dozens city in your huge State....all points North, South, East, and West?

California is situated in one of the most active tectonic regions in the entire world, and you want us to build a half-dozen new nuclear power plants here?
Neat.
And you think that's because of (snicker) earthquakes, Doc?DocBarrister wrote: ↑Thu Aug 25, 2022 3:41 pmJust a stupid post.
Canada has 6 nuclear power facilities. All are in Ontario, New Brunswick, or Quebec. None are on the West Coast.
Not possible. You just told us that earthquakes preclude nuclear plants in California Doc. Surely it has been destroyed by earthquake in the (checks notes) 37 years since it was commissioned?DocBarrister wrote: ↑Thu Aug 25, 2022 3:41 pm California has one “legacy” nuclear power plant that remains in operation and will stay in operation for several more years.
BTW, Doc? That one plant almost makes more electricity than all wind power combined. But sure, It's stupid to use nuclear power.
Yeah, you're up to a whopping 25% of your power from wind and solar after decades and decades of time to do it, Doc. Wow! Great job!DocBarrister wrote: ↑Thu Aug 25, 2022 3:41 pmJust a stupid post.
And why should California go through the much longer regulatory process and much greater expense of building brand new nuclear power facilities when it is much faster, easier, safer, and cheaper to build solar and wind power facilities?
Yeah, that's it. Because it's not possible that anyone knows more about a subject than you do, right, Doc? Your degrees mean you know more than everyone else, regardless of subject.DocBarrister wrote: ↑Thu Aug 25, 2022 3:41 pm You didn’t even think about that before posting, correct, a fan? Just wanted to rush in and troll me, correct?
Keep right on pumping out the natural gas, Doc. I won't stop you. Enjoy your fossil fuel powered Tesla Limousine, I guess. Thinking is bad.
Do you think you are the first person to consider building new nuclear plants in California?
Do you think there may be some good reasons why California hasn’t built and commissioned a new nuclear power plant in nearly four decades?
Earthquakes are not a small issue in California. Everything here costs more money and takes more time to build because of them.
You are the one acting like a know-it-all. First, you think you know better than dozens of governments in East and South Asia about the threat presented by China. Now you think you know better than the entire state of California about building nuclear power facilities here.
Let me fill you in on a secret, Einstein, you’re not the first one to propose building new nuclear power plants here. Lots of companies have considered it, but no one has built a new one here in decades. Laws can be changed and environmental impact studies can be done and nuclear waste facilities identified and funding procured and construction plans drawn if a company really wanted to build a nuclear power plant here.
But no one has … and there are lots of good reasons for that.
Much easier, faster, safer, and cheaper to build solar or wind, so why not go with that?
Your know-it-all arrogance is truly astounding and bizarre. What makes you think you know issues like China and California nuclear power better than the people who actually analyze those issues for a living … and those who have the highest stake in making the right decisions?
