Me, too. And I am famously anti-nuke (the dangerous waste-generating kind). kestrel91316 Dec 2012 #3

Not me. I'm now anti-nuke all the way. GliderGuider Dec 2012 #4

Either you believe a solution is possible, or you don't. wtmusic Dec 2012 #7

Do you think a solution is possible? GliderGuider Dec 2012 #9

I don't understand the purpose of deeper thought if it's merely an expression of hopelessness. wtmusic Dec 2012 #12

There are seven billion different ways of finding value in existence. GliderGuider Dec 2012 #14

Oh, I'm all about LFTR, but we have to be honest about it. joshcryer Dec 2012 #8

But the top story is about a current project. Not some future pipe dream. jonthebru Dec 2012 #10

U233 not required. wtmusic Dec 2012 #13

No wtmusic Dec 2012 #17

Since it takes about a decade to build a reactor after permission is granted. joshcryer Dec 2012 #21

Your assumptions are based on no historical precedent wtmusic Dec 2012 #22

WEll, do you got a timeline when you think it will be built? joshcryer Dec 2012 #23

It could be built in 5 years. wtmusic Dec 2012 #25

Flibe Energy exists, though. joshcryer Dec 2012 #26

Again, you don't understand. PamW Dec 2012 #19

Then why does the thorium community want U233? joshcryer Dec 2012 #20

Having a hard time understanding? PamW Dec 2012 #27

God, you didn't even read my original fucking post here. joshcryer Dec 2012 #31

Evidently you don't understand how it works... PamW Dec 2012 #18

I was not aware that the thorium community wanted to start it with U235. joshcryer Dec 2012 #24

What U-233? PamW Dec 2012 #28

We have roughly 450 kg of U233 from the nuclear program. joshcryer Dec 2012 #32

Order of magnitude shy... PamW Dec 2012 #34

They want to start with a small reactor. joshcryer Dec 2012 #37

Where does it say that? PamW Dec 2012 #46

For a guy who doesn't approve of energy, you certainly spend a lot of time on the internet. NNadir Dec 2012 #29

Why not? Arguing on the internet is a great way to pass the time till dinner. GliderGuider Dec 2012 #30

I'm just noting that many of the advocates of killing off humanity in an orgy of primitivism... NNadir Dec 2012 #57

It's passive poverty. wtmusic Dec 2012 #33

Your lame attempt at moral bullying is duly noted. GliderGuider Dec 2012 #35

That's very profound, but in truth wtmusic Dec 2012 #36

What aspects of my expressed positions do you feel are hypocritical? GliderGuider Dec 2012 #38

This is ground that we've already covered but it's best phrased as a question wtmusic Dec 2012 #39

I don't approve or recommend dieoff. GliderGuider Dec 2012 #40

Inaction is approving dieoff. wtmusic Dec 2012 #41

Die off certainly isn't recommended. joshcryer Dec 2012 #44

Why do you give geoengineering a 50/50 shot? NoOneMan Dec 2012 #49

Sulphate aerosols are known to work (volcanos prove it). joshcryer Dec 2012 #50

Of course they "work" NoOneMan Dec 2012 #51

The results would be devestating either way. joshcryer Dec 2012 #54

Time will tell NoOneMan Dec 2012 #55

Necessity mainly. joshcryer Dec 2012 #56

Only if one feels that action will prevent it. GliderGuider Dec 2012 #45

Bad action is hastening dieoff NoOneMan Dec 2012 #48
