"Strangely enough it takes very little money, nor energy to produce nuclear power."

And since the new doctrine is that radiation is not dangerous at all, you will make us a good price for storing the nuclear waste in your backyard? I hear it helps grow bigger vegetables, too - win win.




That's a non sequitur.

Look up the first nuclear pile experiments and you'll find out just how primitive you can be and still produce a functioning nuclear reactor.


Sorry I don't speak latin? In any case, of course storage of waste has to factored into the cost? I don't see how it is relevant how easy it is to build a reactor. Guess what, it is even easier to start a fire, which produces a lot of energy, too.


I would advise Googling such things, but just so you know, "non sequitur" means "it doesn't follow" in Latin.

He's saying that what you said doesn't make much sense as a reply to that other post. Indeed, I'm not quite sure what your point was, there. If it was a joke, I missed it completely.


OT mentioned all the side costs of photovoltaic power, waste materials, pollution and so on, while stressing the simplicity of creating nuclear power.

So my remark simply was meant to draw attention to the waste products of nuclear power. Is it not logical to throw it into equation for nuclear power, too, if you throw it into the equation for photovoltaic power?


Thanks for clarifying. Your original comment was pretty confusing, though, as a reply.


Do you claim to not know spanish when people say they are going out for burritos?


I don't know, but I know that I'd like a burger right now.
