Since releasing my oil video I've had so many people claiming that renewables will never work and we need nuclear power instead.

What's odd is that almost all of the messages mention that nuclear power is the only solution for the "base load".

I have a degree in Electrical Engineering and I took several nuclear science electives. I like nuclear energy. But I received so much "base load" gaslighting that I started to doubt my own understanding of the situation.

@notjustbikes I used to be very pro-nuclear. While.I still think removing power plants today for ecological reasons is highly counter productive, I have significantly changed my position overall. So many countries don't have the ability to deploy nuclear. They don't have any already, building the expertise takes decades, and can be the cause of geopolitical tensions (see Iran...).

I used to be very pro-nuclear, but I am now very pro-fusion.

I have a number of remote nuclear fusion receivers on the roof of my house, and they are netting me around 7 MWh/year at zero running cost.

@isotopp

The remote fusion collection contraptions don't have any moving part either. I think this is important, maintenance-wise.

@datenhalde @isotopp @sgued @notjustbikes I never heard of this and tried to find anything on remote nuclear reception. Could you please share a link or more info? Thanks!
