For every ten likes, I’ll make this person increasingly realize how incredible nuclear power is
Here they are, reading that nuclear is statistically just as safe as solar or wind
They've just learned that nuclear waste is safe and easy to manage, and that there's a tiny amount of it:
All the nuclear waste (ie spent fuel) ever produced could fit on a single football field stacked only 10 yards high
Next they've discovered breeder reactors, which can create more fuel than they consume
They've now realized this means that we have enough nuclear fuel on earth to power humanity’s growth for 4 billion years
Here they are, visualizing how 1 BARREL of uranium has the same energy content as 2 MILLION BARRELS OF OIL
Hearing that France and Ontario essentially FULLY decarbonized their grids by building nuclear power plants in just about 10 years
Realizing that not only is nuclear incredibly safe, but it also SAVES MILLIONS OF LIVES PER YEAR BY PRODUCING MEDICAL ISOTOPES FOR HOSPITALS ALL OVER THE WORLD
Here they are deciding to drop everything and devote their lives to helping nuclear energy succeed in a world that has totally mischaracterized it as dangerous, slow, and expensive, when in reality it is incredibly clean & safe, quick to build, and economical, when done right.
The end!
