But no pylon costs or the fleet of lawyers it takes to wear down the NIMBYs.

D) The costs involved make all this impractical for all but the very richest of people
I personally remember when this applied to air travel.
Actually this is a very standard Green viewpoint.
Everywhere I've lived, cops are generally utterly disinterested in property crime unless the victim is connected, the loss is huge or the media gets interested.
Less than 10% are cleared in California now, and yes, they used to be better at it.
This is why we of the dark side value the Second Amendment and keep iy holy.
Or the secret Nazi base.
Antarxtica may be a really hostile environment for building military infrastructure, but with enough Qatari money it's doable.
I love stories about smart tech vs. dumb thugs. On a much larger scale, that's also what's been happening this year in the Middle East.
On the other hand, Patrick Moore is a shill of industry.
A "shill of industry" is a person who is proposing commercially feasible solutions to problems. If we are going to achieve a clean energy baseload, we need a bunch more of them.
Your favorite country happens to be whole hog for nuclear and is running prototypes of several different new reactor designs at its nuclear test site. Our nuclear test site (I've been there) is a museum of Cold War weapons designs. Its one commercial initiative, Yucca Mountain, was shut down by the Democrats. Now that Harry Reid is rotting in hell, that may change.
Name one other type of power generation that, when it fails catastrophically, renders hundreds of square miles of territory uninhabitable for hundreds of years.
Just one.
There is no such source, including nuclear.
George Monbiot is another former Green who has come over.
I do not understand why old nerds are so freaking obsessed with nuclear power.
Because its best clean-energy alternative, hydro, is fully exploited. To get any more, we would have to wait around a few million years for more orogeny.
And yes, there isn't a lot of potential in refurbishing old reactors. The future belongs to those who ago bold and develop a reactor design taht can be factory-built, like aircraft, rather than being laboriously site-built over years and years, like airports.
tesla keep cathing fire
Only around liberals. They don't have Anker batteries.
High-voltage transmission lines are aluminum conductors wrapped around stee cab;el for strength.Both of these elements are literally dirt cheap and available domestically. Trump won't need to invade Chile.
2. Plane suffered dual engine failure (most likely due to external factors like birds, because the GE GenX engines have so far been bulletproof).
One seasoned Air India pilot has already opined that it was a birdstrike. Same scenario as Captain Sullenberger's flight at JFK, but this time there was no river.
SMR is a waste, it only generates more nuclear waste and more parts have to be decommissioned.
When Trump opens Yucca Mountain as the input buffer to a waste reprocessing plan t on the Nevada Test Site, this will no longer be a problem.
