Literally, mutated people and waste is all it's bad for.

Discuss the best energy alternative.

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.
because my sims don't deserve it.
let them fuckers breathe in that polluted air

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
Currently, Nuclear power is the most efficient (at least until renewable energy get a tad more research), there are only 3 major problems with it atm, being waste management, risk of meltdown and weaponisation.

Waste management's a problem, particularly for the UK where we don't even have a proper nuclear waste disposal site, we just encase it in concrete and dump it in the Irish Sea or at Sellafield IIRC, whereas the US and (Norway or Sweden I think?) have or are developing specially designed nuclear dump sites to last hundreds of years while the waste decays.

The risk of meltdown, especially since Chernobyl has been massively reduced with automated shutdown systems in place and proper training and fallback plans should a reactor uncontrollably reach critical mass. The Fukuishima plant is the only recent major incident, and that was down to poor handling of other hazards (which, for Japan I thought would be ready for the occasional tsunami...), rather than a fault with the operation of the reactor itself.

For places like Iran which props up from time to time, weaponisation of the nuclear fuel is a possibility, but you see how it's very unlikely to actually happen because of international politics (US imposing massive sanctions on Iran and NK as well), plus more recent designs for reactors reduce the chance of the fuel being enriched in the process, as well as possible development to Thorium Nuclear reactors which other than some other alleged benefits, isn't possible to be used as a weapon.

TLDR:

The angel agreed to trade a set of white wings for the head of another demon. Overjoyed, the demon killed one of his own and plucked the head right off its still-warm body.

The angel then led the demon to heaven, where he underwent centuries of the cruelest tortures imaginable. Finally, the pain was so great that he lost consciousness - at which point his dark wings turned the promised shade of white.
Oh gasai you qt

Still think that renewable energy should be given more research instead of nuclear, especially since dealing with nuclear waste is kind of a serious problem

More research for nuclear waste potential is much more important.

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.

On the note of Fukushima, look how well that was contained and handled utilizing decades old equipment and structures, and then remember that a modern plant is exponentially safer. That seems pretty goddamn safe to me.

Shame we don't have any modern plants... Thanks Clinton.

I had to research a ton for an essay on this sorta thing, and I was surprised that despite the UK relying on it for 20% of it's energy supply, practically all of them are shutting down by 2020, seeing as the last new one was built in the 1980's... all the rest were built in the 70's, or even earlier!

We're only getting replacements built now that will double that amount in power, but there's going to be a 10 year gap where there's going to be a huge energy drop, and that's if no one in power suddenly cancels nuclear contracts.

The best energy alternative would involve anti-matter reactors. But since they exist only in theory;- there is no best energy alternative. Nuclear power is LITERALLY the best power we can have at the moment (fusion not fission).

fusion is a long way from providing anyone w/ power unless of course you believe the stuff coming out of the skunkworks now.

No. For what happened and what was available, it went better than expected.

It could have been handled much better.

I remember the day it happened, when the meltdown started they became desperate and threw seawater on the reactors, of course some of the water evaporated leaving everything to be covered and corroded by salt. Much of the sea water that was used also went straight into the ground, loaded with radiation.

Even years after the meltdown radiation was still leaking into the sea and ground even though it was denied by the corporation.
