Environment & Energy

Well, except into nuclear power of course, because that will save us! Right?

If all primary energy is derived from nuclear power, some form of energy storage (e.g. batteries, hydrogen, "pumped hydro") would be really, really useful. Nuclear plants are most efficient/cost effective, when producing at a constant rate. How do you get that constant rate to meet fluctuating demand? Build more plants! Right?

Nuclear power plants are not easily transportable, say, to power a car, or a bus or a cellphone. Even if our grid were entirely powered by nuclear power (which it won’t be, get over it) that would not address the majority of emissions.
