>>69323493 My country has 3 big nuclear power-plants which provide a total of 60% of the electricity used in this country. These were built in the early 1980s. They are government owned and run. Political consensus is that we can not build new nuclear power plants because NUCLEAR POWER BAD. We also don't upgrade or properly remain the plants we have because NUCLEAR POWER BAD. We have made great efforts to move to renewable energy sources the last decade and we've managed to cover about 4% of our country's energy use this way. I absolutely agree with the simple fact that nuclear power is very dangerous and therefore kind of bad in this country. We don't want to build newer safer ones. The reality nobody in the ruling parties want to accept is that we can't actually replace 60% of our power-use with anything else and what is not locally produced by nuclear is to a large degree imported coal-produced. So we go on using old, unmaintained and increasingly dangerous nuclear powerplants.. Not accepting the reality that we need nuclear power is dangerous.

>>69323370 Neutron-induced fission using uranium-235 releases about 200 MeV on average per reaction ad DT fusion releases on average 17 MeV per reaction. The difference is density of fuel. If you have 1 gram of uranium fuel, and one gram of DT hydrogen fuel, the hydrogen fuel will have a higher amount of atoms in it (roughly 120x more). Because the DT fuel has a higher number of atoms, there will be more reactions per gram of fuel. And the more plentiful reaction count means that more overall energy will be produced per unit weight of fuel.

>>69322050 isn't it obvious that the most efficient use of solar energy is to use hybrid solar/PV panels? why aren't we doing that? also, I wonder if hybrid concentrated/PV (as in, panels would have to reflect sunlight not absorved/converted by them) exist.
