    The Texas "rolling blackout" discussion thread

    The Uranium or Plutonium pit from weapons would be excellent fuel. Near me is the one plant in the entire US that disassembles our nuclear weapons. These pits get shipped to Nevada for storage. Could still be used for fueling SMRs. The idea of SMRs is catching on and has been subject of major...

    Yeah, nuclear physics says no to this. Spent fuel is exactly that - spent. Just because it's still radioactive doesn't mean it can still make heat or be reactive. It can't and it's not, otherwise it would be utilized.

    The Texas "rolling blackout" discussion thread

    In Japan they use greyhound bus sized nuclear power plants where the pile itself is already buried 400 feet deep encased in concrete, these are spent after 50 years and are sealed off, and the next one in line is activated. The boiler plant above ground never moves. People don't understand...

    The Texas "rolling blackout" discussion thread

    Has no relation to this and isn't even remotely associated. Enron was securities fraud and internal accounting fraud. Not customer billing fraud. But more to the point, ALL of these people getting the jacked up bills AGREED to it by signing up with these esoteric "providers" and gambling on...

    The Texas "rolling blackout" discussion thread

    We have natural gas in Canada, North Dakota, Minnesota - all places that get far colder than any part of Texas. And there's no problems. It's stupid to waste millions super-winterizing systems that never SEE any real winter. In fact the whole "gas wells freezing" crap is just a deflection, a...

    He seems to think this thread is "internetking posts the national weather map" and not his local weather. It's Weather WHERE YOU ARE not nationally, not fucking China, not the fucking South Pole.

    Well, they completed their move over three weeks ago. If they closed for a few days then they joined the club. Lots of stuff closed due to the storm.

    The Texas "rolling blackout" discussion thread

    I spun this off to its own thread because it deserves discussion, and the "weather where you are" thread is best left to just your local weather reports, as it was intended. Of note - here in Texas we had "rolling blackouts" back in the winter of 2011, and there wasn't all this teeth gnashing...
