If you didn't play EverQuest with Roger Wilco, don't even talk to me about voice chat.

Look, I'm just saying, the ad campaign writes itself: "TOYOTA: Trucks so powerful the Taliban beat the USA."

It's the Ottawa Citizen. So, no, not a real newspaper.

Sure, we could save ourselves from extinction, but what about shareholder value?

Your numbers are way off. A nuclear power plant generates about a tenth of the emissions of a coal power plant over its full lifecycle. This includes things like:

  • Plant construction
  • Plant decommissioning
  • Uranium mining
  • Uranium transportation
  • Uranium enrichment
  • Fuel reprocessing
  • Uranium mine reclamation

But none of this really matters in comparing the two. Coal power plants also need to be constructed, and have fuel transported to them! They don't just sprout out of the earth like manna from God!

Is it better than solar, wind, or hydro? No. Those generate about 5 to 20% of the emissions as a nuclear power plant (depending on which you're talking about) when you include manufacturing and construction. Fortunately, functional governments (read: not the West) are capable of walking and chewing gum at the same time! They're doing both! Which is smart—I'd rather have a nuclear fuel storage problem in 100 years than a "whoops, humanity went extinct!" problem. We don't have a lot of time here.

Wow, stop saying sensible things. Be less correct. Thanks!

You're objectively wrong on both points, but go off.
