Reply to comment by globeflyman in Nation’s First Nuclear-Powered Clean Hydrogen Production Announced. The Nine Mile Point Generating Station, the oldest operating U.S. nuclear power plant, will soon house the nation’s first nuclear-powered clean hydrogen production facility by chopchopped

It’s a lot easier to encase a few rods in concrete and put them in a concrete bunker for storage until we can develop the teck to get rid of them, than it is to try and capture all the CO2 we produce everyday. Or we can all just make fun and do nothing. From my last few days I think most Americans don’t care at all about trash, waste, and quite literally anything that is healthy. To each their own.

What about wind and solar?? It seems to me, it's not so safe waiting to explore the effect of long term storage (many thousands of years). In hopes we can find a safe way to dispose of very "hot" material.???

It's so much less of a risk than all the externalities of coal that it's not even in the same ballpark. It's not renewables versus nuclear but renewable AND nuclear. They pair well together.

I’m not against solar or wind. But with nuclear power you know how much electricity you will be getting 24/7. Also, with resources you must displace a ton of resources for both wind and solar.
