Environment & Energy

...are thermodyamically inefficient.

Of course antinukes have zero interest in attacking coal or gas, also duly noted.

It is true that in rare cases, nuclear heat is used for district heating, preventing the consumption of fossil fuels for heating, not that there is a single fucking antinuke here or elsewhere who attacks fossil fuels with the same vehemence with which they attack nuclear energy, but the practice is too rare.

In theory, though not in practice, nuclear energy because of the high temperatures accessible in nuclear fuels, can be used for process intensification. "Can" of course is different than "is," a point I often make. I often discuss this with my son, a budding nuclear engineer focused on refractory materials science. Like me, he doesn't give a shit about specious objections.

The selective attention is, again, noted. Antinukes should not pretend to care about the collapse of the planetary atmosphere. Clearly they couldn't care less.
