Our politians are already fucking us plenty, thanks though.

4th times the charm.

Honestly that's pretty cool that you studied nuclear physics, I'm not sure if it's possible either but we still need the plants even if it isn't. My understanding of energy production, even with a 7 year or longer time frame, tells me we need these facilities three decades ago but right now works too.

All I'm hearing is we should have started a decade ago and people are still giving bullshit reasons to not start right now. You're part of the problem my man.

So you make a seperate building to enclose it while keeping the multiple tons of pipes and concrete used for the fission heat exchanger. Listen, this is both above our heads but the general concepts are applicable. Make the sites now and worst case scenario we keep using fission. Oh no.

"a meaningless statistic" goalposts? Gone.

The time to create nuclear plants is far lower than what you quoted, should have been started a decade ago, and we're still sitting here fucking debating whether we should start.

In the most respectful way I can manage, stop bitching about time to build and start now. Encourage the people in charge to do it, now. Stop kicking the can down the road so we can go "damn I guess renewables weren't enough, we should have made those plants a long time ago."

I'm hostile because I'm sick of the same attitude every year. "top expensive, too long, too unsafe" when it makes more power per dollar spent than any other method, is only a few years away even with inspections, and causes less deaths per GW/H including renewables and including the deaths/affected peoples from nuclear disasters.

There is no more room for debate. Nuclear is and has been the option for decades and anyone saying it isn't is just helping coal and oil. Full stop.

Reactors can be built in as little as 3 years, thanks for your outdated input.

Both make heat. Both need heat exchangers. Heat exchangers and the surrounding facility is the majority of the construction. I wish people would stop blabbering without knowing a thing on power production.

The only difference is the core. The entire apparatus around it that converts heat into steam, those big ass funnels of concrete, are what take fucking years to build. It would still safe a ton of time if and when fusion becomes sustainable.
