Do we need nuclear energy to stop climate change? More and more voices from science, environmental activists and the press have been saying so in recent years - but this comes as a shock to those who are fighting against nuclear energy and the problems that come with it. So who is right? Well - it is complicated.

    • Nuclear energy was a legitimate threat to the fossil fuel industry so companies campaigned hard to make it look like the most horrible thing ever, taking advantage of the fact that the most common nuclear reactor designs produce materials that can be used to make nuclear weapons. Combine that with what happened at Chernobyl and it wasn't very difficult to convince the population that nuclear energy is too dangerous. Younger generations are more willing to give nuclear energy a chance, but the older generations which lived through the Cold War are still clinging to the idea that nuclear must be avoided at all costs.

Processed SNF-HLW is basically depleted uranium... Fuel for breeder reactors. Caesium-137, Cobalt-60,and Iodine-131 in MLW/LLW can be used as radiotherapy sources, as well as some other isotopes.

Allow me to elaborate duke here is implied to have some kind of knowledge that we ourselves our withheld further implying that we don't ourselves know because of the phrase "but I won't tell you" This is an act often replicated by people in the 1st - 4th grade as they have had less experience and are more likely to tell lies about their knowledge. This is humorous because the final implication is that duke nukem is a child. Over all this comment is funny for explaining the joke just like the comment above which explains the joke to the audience who can almost certainly see fot themselves.

They put an enormous amount of time into research and animating their videos, try to make scientific topics as simple to understand as possible, and treat their viewers with a lot of respect. The Earth mug I bought from them hasn't had any paint come off even though I've been dishwashing it for a year, definitely not a cheap product. Of all the KZhead merch I've gotten, I think theirs is the highest quality (just barely beating out LTT). They could have just kept with patreon alone or gone with a cheaper producer, but they genuinely care. I'm happy that there are actually content producers who just want to educate the world and make the world better.

There's already a nagging idea of propelling Helium-3 which could honestly a good replacement of fossil fuels. This energy resource could be found on the Moon. Another idea is getting unlimited energy from the Sun using satellite panels and could remotely send energy back to Earth. There was something that Nikolas Tesla proposed to get electricity as safe and cleaner but he died before his idea was struck on the next generations. Either way, mankind should really get their heads out of the ground and look for ways as not doing anything would turn out future into the stuff of nightmare for our future generations to experienced.

Same thing, except that power plants keep up with regulations and are constantly being made safer, repaired and checked. So, it would be like having a TV, having a repairman over every 3months, after 2y he tells you it's in perfect condition but you still trash it because the warranty expired.

    • It's populism and politics coming from a place of ignorance. It's the same thing with GMOs, for instance. People look at the words "genetic" or "nuclear" and understandably have their concerns, we can't reasonably expect the average person to be knowledgeable about advanced scientific topics. Politicians will either blindly pander to these concerns or have them themselves. The difference is that a politician should be knowledgeable about a topic if they are to give their opinion and vote on it, and always regard scientific evidence over their own premade opinions. And that's not even going into the subject of lobbies. It's unfortunate how leaders worldwide are so easily swayed and corrupted and it's no wonder people are feeling ever more sepparated from politics.

It is somewhat understandable given that a lot of Canada’s nuclear power plants are around 40-50 years old, and restoring and refitting them would be incredibly expensive. In for instance, it’s a mistake to ban commercial nuclear energy if we have the regulatory capability to keep it operationally safe, accountable to the public, and as minimally invasive to the environment as possible. In BC and Canada, we should pursue research, investment, and development of next generation nuclear reactors if they are more modular and cost effective. It seems like the most obvious choice

Please don't base your knowledge on social media and YT videos when the truth is just a few clicks of the mouse and some reading. People today want to be spoon fed information instead of researching facts. The Southeastern U.S. is super pro-nuclear MAGA, has zero anti-nukes, and 100% political support. VC Summer (South Carolina) new nuclear units 2&3 were canceled in 2017 after spending $17 billion on the project (original estimate of $14 billion and 2016 completion date) with no clear end in sight for costs or schedule. Vogtle (Georgia) new nuclear units 3 &4 currently 110% over budget and schedule (currently over $30 billion) and still not operating. Mid way into the build, the utility stated that had they known about the many costly delays they would never have chosen nuclear. They are now delayed another year because according to the project management, thousands of build documents are missing. If you can’t build new nuclear in the MAGA super pro-nuclear southeast U.S. then where can you build it?

For every unit of technology you construct you can decide whether you use (A) or (B). Is there any scenario where you would use a mix of both technologies? EDIT: regarding lordcirth's comment: I assume that you agree with me, that anybody would choose technology (A). Now, you're rightfully said so, that if we add new constraints to these technologies we might decide differently. We have now two other technologies: A grid powered by Nuclear power, which costs today around 100 €/MWh* and the other one is a grid that is powered by wind, solar, power-to-gas, batteries and pump-storage, which will costs around 60 €/MWh by 2050**. Both technologies are similarly reliable, though nuclear has still the (very) small risk to cause significant harm. You can combine these technologies, but they don't complete each other. Would you rather choose technology (A) or technology (B)? * Lazard LCOE 2020 ** Bogdanov et al. "Radical transformation pathway towards sustainable electricity via evolutionary steps"

    • Climate change has and always will exist. The whole AGW narrative is absolute horse shit. We had 20 times more Co2 in the atmosphere for hundreds of millions of years and life flourished and the Earth was green and temperate from pole to pole. Isn't it strange that suddenly we are in a century out of billions of years where the Earth climate is supposedly at absolute optimum with polar ice caps in an interglacial period? Who decided that the 21st century out of thousands of life giving centuries was the perfect one for Earth climate that needed to be preserved for evermore? It is one big joke when you look into it properly but it gets much worse when you look into the agenda behind it. Despite the fact warmest were claiming the Earth will die within a decade because of runaway warming, the same people who said the Arctic sea ice would have melted by the end of the last decade, the UN never saw fit to put restraints on the worlds biggest polluter China and left them exempt of all the industry busting carbon taxes and economy busting green regulations they put on Western nations. Now China accounts for more Co2 emissions than the whole of Europe and US put together and while the West suffered the preplanned UN agenda 21 deindustrialisation, China boomed as the global elite who fund the UN think tanks that come up with these agendas all moved their finance and industry there and made trillions from using cheap dirty energy and child labour. That made just a handful of people responsible so much money that they now own almost 2/3 of the entire worlds wealth between them (Oxfam 2017 report) So when I see poor puppet Greta and extinction rebellion demanding zero emissions in London and Bozo the globalist stooge obliging even as the UK economy reels under his nefarious lockdown policies I have to laugh because Co2 makes up just 0.035% of atmosphere and of that only about 3% is man made (0.001%) and Britain's contribution to that just 1% of that which is 0.00001% of atmosphere. That means if Britain had zero emissions tomorrow atmospheric Co2 would be reduced from 0.035% to 0.03499% or by 100/1000th of 1% over decades if not centuries.

What you’re talking about is the earth’s climate naturally changing over millions of years, this is happening over a few decades. Also, what you talk about with there having been “better climates” before this current one is complete nonsense. I don’t know if it escaped your notice, but humans weren’t alive in the time of the dinosaurs. We are adapted to live in our current climate, and not just biologically but socially as well. As a species we can only cope with so much flooding, so much drought. We can’t just continue destroying the planet and convince ourselves it’s not our fault.

    • ​ @Dan Brown Oh dear, there is so much here that I hardly know where to begin. Has climate change always existed? Yes, of course it has. Nobody is suggesting that the climate is stationary. Has atmospheric conditions and the climate ever changed this rapidly and continuously in recent history? Not as far as I know, and we're going to continue suffering as a result. Every time earth has faced sudden climate changes in the past, be it from large asteroids or volcanic eruptions, mass death followed. Earth will obviously continue to be fine, but life will definitely be less enjoyable and more full of suffering if we continue on this path of self-indulgence without care for what we do to the world. Of course the climate is changing, but when it's changing this rapidly things don't adapt well. Is China producing a lot of CO2? Yes, and they should be doing their best to limit it. But, like videos this channel has covered in the pass on who is responsible, the west has also polluted more if you look at history. Overall, it should be irrelevant who gets the blame because blaming people will get us nowhere. Everyone should be doing the best they can to prevent further damage. China is definitely far from perfect, from their pollution to disregard for freedoms, but pointing to them and saying "we should be polluting to" is a terrible mindset. Everyone should be striving to be better. And then there's this weird idea of some globalist conspiracy about climate change... what? Ah yes, large fossil fuel producing countries and extremely large and wealthy oil companies couldn't have been contributing to any kind of conspiracy against the idea of global warming, it must be those thousands of scientists and activists who want to destroy us, that definitely makes sense... No matter how you look at it, it makes sense to strive for a future where we mitigate extreme climate change. The overwhelming majority of economists agree that investing in a zero carbon future makes sense given the extreme costs in damages we would face in the future if we don't. The overwhelming majority of scientists agree that rapid climate change is an issue. Has there been hyperbole in the past? Yes. Have there been incorrect predictions made in the past? Also yes. We need to keep researching and discovering more about how everything is being affected. The entire globe is an extremely complicated ecosystem and when something as big as these atmospheric changes we've been inducing these centuries comes along the effects on the system are numerous in ways that we may not know yet. TL:DR: Yes, modern western countries like those in Europe are not contributing as much CO2 in the present as more developing countries, but they have historically contributed more. Does this really matter at the moment? I don't think so. We should all be striving to be better, not worse. The world's ecosystem is extremely complicated with everything interacting with everything else that we might not know what the effects are yet. A global conspiracy that climate change is fake makes literally no sense and is like saying that the moon landing was faked. Even if you ignore climate change, going neutral means less pollution in the places that we live, and I like not breathing in poison. Mitigating extreme climate change is in our own best interests in terms of economics and our future well-being. It's cheaper to put out the stove fire than letting it burn down the entire house.

    • @@henrybarber288 But it isn't happening over a few decades, that is the debunked hockey stick. You have to look at all the data not just cherry pick the data that pushes your agenda. And regardless there have been bigger changes over shorter periods both warming and cooling. It has clearly escaped your notice that Earth climate is no the same around the globe and mankind survives perfectly well from Africa to Arctic. The Cambrian period had 20 times more Co2 in the atmosphere than now and it was Earths most productive time for diversity of life because it was temperate from pole to pole as I said. And what makes you think this climate is more suitable to man that that? Much more of the Earth is inhospitable now and it is far less green. But then we all know the AGW agenda is anti human not pro human though they do rather favour polar bears for some reason, which by the way are thriving. Listen, environmentalism is no bad thing so long as it is based in reality and actually about the environment. Anti pollution benefits plant and animal alike. But that is not what AGW policies are about as I explained. They are about making very rich and powerful people even richer and more powerful while their puppet celebrities parade around telling you not to eat meat to save the planet while they fly their private and collect mansions and live in opulence with a carbon footprint that is a thousand times higher than yours or mine. So how about, if you really believe this is a crisis, you get all the richest people in the world who are behind the agenda to give up all their luxuries before we start eating insects to save the planet? Surely they would have no issue with it given they are the ones who tell us the Earth is on fire. And "we" are not destroying the planet, at least I know I'm not, I don't even drive a car. The people doing any damage and polluting are the same people behind the AGW agenda, the same people who made trillions in China and had them build thousands of new dirty coal plants to fuel their industry while our clean burning plants were shutdown by their mandates. If nothing else, take a look at the hypocrisy of those who fund the eco-fascists and anarcho-communists and ask how their AGW policies make any sense except for keeping us poor while they get to mop the last remaining wealth.

I think new generation nuclear power plants will be even more safer and efficient than they are now while new generation geothermal plants will be much more efficient.

    • they do that in most of their videos actually, but this time was far more explicit then usual. most of the time they have the duck in the corner holding an 'opinion' sign or just show to title slide more briefly.

    • Absolutely. I am definitely in the pro-nuclear camp but there's a lot to be said for having local distributed sources of electricity generated by renewable clean sources, not just to add to the baseline source nuclear can handle but also for resiliency against the increasing extreme weather events we're going through (being in California and seeing all the wildfires each year getting worse and worse, our electrical grid cannot cope). Transmission line losses alone are enough to argue that while we can't entirely rely on renewables, generating more electricity locally through city or even neighborhood-centric grids lets us reduce those by quite a bit.

    • @Ami Deus some things are simple some are complicated. But saying it's complicated usually means the person wants for some reason support the worse option and uses "it's complicated" as distraction so he can justify his option more easily. Not saying it's always the case. For example: chosing between nuclear and natural energy is simple Nuclear energy is cleaner and more effective. But whats complicated is disposal of nuclear wastes. There are lots of options and we must figure out which is best
