Much of the nonsense uploaded to these threads originates from US and Oz, two of the three most diseased western liberal democracies. But if that’s all you have ever known, it’s somewhat understandable (but not necessarily excusable).

He's gone full nationalist on us.

Several of You are confusing me with one who can be easily bullied.

No, I just want you to quit posting so much off topic, insulting and belittling nonsense.

It shows real character to keep posting insulting and belittling nonsense but immediately cry about bullying when told to piss off.

 

[LionelHutz]

Being from Canada, I won't put down other western democracies for what they are doing. Pot calling the kettle black and all that.

Just a silly thought as the subject gravity bateries came through recently. If these reactors are small enough perhaps they could be lowered into deep, abandoned mines where they could be abandoned and buried in the event of a fault or at end of life?

Heck, we could put it on the elevator and raise it up and down for more power . Cash in on some of that greenwashing if you catch my drift.

"gravity generators" ?

Sorry, gravity batteries. I also made another important correction.

If I’m crying it’s only from laughing too hard.

Character, eh? Read your own post out loud and compare the hostility level with the worst thing I’ve ever said.

That said, I could probably help myself by trying to have less get lost in translation from Rightsideupworld to other worlds.

I dug into the company a little deeper and found this:

"These scalable power plant solutions can support a variety of needs and geographic areas and can be
located on retiring coal power plant sites. Some coal plant generation infrastructure can be repurposed
and reused, such as cooling water delivery systems, demineralized water, potable water, site fire protection,
and switchyard, as well as administrative, warehouse, and other existing buildings. These systems can
be repurposed at significant savings: NuScale conducted a study which estimates that, on average,
approximately $100 million of existing coal plant infrastructure could be reused for a NuScale power plant.
The NuScale plant can utilize existing energy infrastructure without the need to incur the cost of new major
infrastructure, such as the installation of a transmission system connection."

I find the above particularly interesting as I've spent the last 15 months working at 2 different coal plants that were shut down. Watching the scrappers tear through all of the piping and valves and whatnot so they can sell for scrap. I would just shake my head as it' seemed such a waste.

Something else that's useful:

"The NuScale plant can also extensively load follow to complement intermittent power generation from wind, solar, and hydropower
and balance power supply on the grid, no matter the time of day, season, or weather forecast. The NuScale
Power Module is capable of a ramp rate of 40% per hour in reactor power change, which aligns with
specifications set by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI).14 For even quicker responses to electricity
demand, the NuScale SMR can rapidly lower its electric power output up to 10% per minute and return
to full output at the same rate utilizing turbine bypass. This is significantly faster than conventional
nuclear power."

Unfortunately, I don't know where Canada falls on brims list... but, it's up near the top.

There’s no list, but all three I named have serious internal and external issues.

Canada does less damage by dint of being smaller.

Read your own post out loud and compare the hostility level with the worst thing I’ve ever said.

It's the pure volume of horse shit emanating from your posts combined with the posting arrogance claiming to be doing everyone a service by posting that is making everyone hate on you. Personally, it's reached the point that I believe you're simply purposely trying to be the biggest asshole possible.

 

[Guest102023]

Yeah try to manage your anger better

Angry or not, he's right. You should follow the original advice at this point.

Come on Lionel... there's no need for that vindictive. If you disagree with him, provide citations...

brims... Canada has some good excuses... our population, our climate and our long travel distances. I just posted this earlier on another forum.

Canada will always be among champion emitters for those reasons, but there’s still a lot we can do, including some low hanging fruit.

Sin taxes for unnecessary vanity vehicles like commuter pickups, revamp building codes, higher density zoning, stop paving over precious farmland in Ontario, etc etc (And for &@$& sake politicians can we finally get high speed rail from Windsor to Quebec City?)

Ontario has already done the hard work of shutting down coal plants, which raises our bar in future climate negotiations, but so be it. We all benefit from the improved air quality, helped in no small way by plants closing up and down the Ohio Valley, where the prevailing wind comes from.

You think forcing people to buy multiple vehicles is a solution to climate change?

High density? You mean constricting buildings out of steel and concrete, and then packing people in them so that the buildings require 24/7 climate control? I much prefer lightweight low resource intensity single family construction. Wood is renewable and carbon sequestering, no?

High speed rail? You mean millions of tons of high valued material like steel laid on top of CO2 intense concrete? And then one fault and the whole line is shut down? I'll keep my recyclable and born from waste product asphalt roads, thank you.
