 I'm sure theres a check box "don't mention Nuclear" on these conference addmision forms.. 🤷 
 I think you are right.
Also - don’t mention that renewables can be more destructive and harmful
Don’t mention that people are carbon based 
Don’t mention that methane has always been part of the cycle and cannot be lumped with other emissions 
Don’t ever mention the plastic pollution made by the big companies globally 
 Nobody expects the spanish inquisition 😁 
 Unexpected Monty Python 🤣🤣🤣 
 Twice... but we are living theough a python sketch 😂 
 🤣🤣🤣 we are absolutely! 
 You could probably throw in some Blackadder too 
 I don't have a cunning plan yet. 
But im working on one..... 
 But above all, dont mention the war...😂 
 War? What war?? 🤣🤣🤣 
 The problem with them is that if you find yourself in a shooting war, that cooling system is fair game, then you have real problems... 
 Modern modular reactors don't have a cooling system per sae. The fuel is in a matrix which air or water is pumped though, if that fails that just get warm but dont "melt down" or reach a melting point. Which is pretty cool 😎  
 Which assumes they aren't idiots & choose the right tech.

I'm not confident... 🤣  
 We are the poster child for the idiocracy remember. 🤣  
 I can't attest to that, but theres a good jordan peterson interview with one of the guys behind one company. And plenty online about the various desigins, at the end of the day we've got to try. If we hadn't we'd still all be driving model T's about 😂 
 Heh, I would drive a Model T if they were cheaper. 😂  
 You probably could hook up a wood gasifier for the full outback hill billy look 😂😂 
 Yep, I'd do that too. 😂
