I really think nuclear is the best option [spoiler] and not just because I will be a Nuclear Engineer in the Navy [/spoiler][/bq]\r\nNow if a product undersells a competitor by a lot who do you think will sell more?  If one product costs a cent a killowatt whereas the other other costs seventeen cents a killowatt who do you think is going to sell better?","author":"38b55cdf63616403d7560600"},{"id":"537d7d0e6368721243f90000","topic_id":"5161dd617f123bd25900013d","body":"\"@uc9\":/dis/the-time-wasting-thread/post/537d7c8d6368721175c40000#post_537d7c8d6368721175c40000\r\nNot sure what you are talking about but predatory pricing has not worked in the past.\r\nAt least not without a monopoly granted by the gov","author":"4fe16df67f123b13e400003f"},{"id":"537d7d626368721243870100","topic_id":"5161dd617f123bd25900013d","body":"\"@uc9\":/dis/the-time-wasting-thread/post/537d7c8d6368721175c40000#post_537d7c8d6368721175c40000\r\nI'd stay far away from nuclear power. If that were the norm think of all the radioactive waste we would have not to mention the danger of a meltdown and environmental contamination.

Also the infrastructure is fairly cheap and there is no danger of an explosion or meltdown (unless some idiot screws up during the titration process of the algae oil).","author":"5010fa077f123b1e4f00104e"},{"id":"537d7f5d6368725ff85b0000","topic_id":"5161dd617f123bd25900013d","body":"\"@someguy111\":/dis/the-time-wasting-thread/post/537d7d626368721243870100#post_537d7d626368721243870100\r\nChernobyl-type accidents are not possible in any reactor built by the West in the past 40 years. Three Mile Island did not impact any off-site areas. Fukushima deaths were mostly from the tsunami.\r\n\r\nCoal kills way more people than nuclear power.","author":"50b70eeb7f123b1a02000097"},{"id":"537d7f6b6368725d71750000","topic_id":"5161dd617f123bd25900013d","body":"\"@Whatevs\":/dis/the-time-wasting-thread/post/537d7e3e6368725e7e1e0000#post_537d7e3e6368725e7e1e0000\r\nAll it takes is one little mistake and there could be a contamination hazard. Nuclear energy is used on military vessels because it allows them to stay out at sea for very long periods and used by subs so the can stay submerged for a very long time.
