gollark: Factories and datacentres and stuff need power constantly.
gollark: No, we need power *constantly*, just telling people "you're using energy wrong" is not really a good solution.
gollark: There are new innovations in nuclear power which could improve efficiency, reduce cost and improve safety too, except nobody seems to be implementing them because people seem to just... not like nuclear.
gollark: Nuclear waste isn't actually a huge issue - you could fit all nuclear waste generated so far into a small swimming pool or something and it's *much* better than the effects of fossil fuel pollution - and meltdowns are rare.
