Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Our previous gov in .nl also tried to push nuclear, but first they had to do a location study (which have already been done in the past, and for some added hilarity, our incompetent farmers party didn't know you needed rivers near those plants), but even if those were really redone and not just a stalling tactic, they already couldn't find a company willing to build one.

And after our gov fell we are all back to square one now. Esp as I think forming a new gov will take forever again. Esp with the rightward shift of so many parties. (Our labour green party and our center right (but people think they are center left) party are now considered far left)

hmm, would sea water be too corrosive for cooling?

[–] fullsquare@awful.systems 1 points 59 minutes ago

sea water is used for cooling NPPs, there are heat exchangers on the way anyway, so only these will corrode and not anything close to turbine nevermind reactor. but you also have to pick a place that won't flood in any but extreme circumstances

No idea, prob doesnt flow properly and has too much variation compared to a river. Also risk of jellyfish.
