World consumes 158 Petawatt Hour

wtf is "traditional biomass?" there some fucking orthodox slug monster powering Bosnia or something?

Most of us whether lib or not will be annihilated.

It is just Davos word for firewood.

That's because nuclear power has been vilified for decades, in favor of "green" energy sources that don't produce anywhere near enough energy.

How

>Well, everyone just showed a middle finger to nuclear energy, while oil and coal industries boomed, barely anyone invested in nuclear energy hence we don't have necessarily efficient nuclear reactors.

Nuclear power stations require huge resources to build. We simply don't have enough spare resources to put into building many of them.

Do you think any country on Earth can build 1014 nuclear reactors per year or a fraction of it?

Where will they build it?

>Do you think any country on Earth can build 1014 nuclear reactors per year or a fraction of it?
>Where will they build it?

Absolutely not. Far too expensive. And nobody seems to know that nuclear power stations need refuelling every 2 years.

Biomass is the biggest fucking joke of all. Do these climate change faggots actually think biomass is green ?

>energy apocalypse
Just turn off shit that is not necessary lmao, just walk around cities and see how much unnecessary shit is lighted up/running.
If anything energy shortage will just keep this shitty consumerist las vegas style society in check.

There'll definitely be energy lockdowns. Covid was just a trial run

How much of that energy goes to cars and other mobile applications though? We don't have the tech for a 100% power plant based system regardless of energy source, batteries aren't there yet.

>There'll definitely be energy lockdowns. Covid was just a trial run

Stay in your homes, the food trucks are coming.

Until one day they don't.

For USA this how much that goes into cars.

Notice how little electricity is used in transportation.

Would we have enough fuel for 22000-46000 reactors, i guess U-135 and Plutonium?

nuclear fusion will happen in our lifetimes

>Would we have enough fuel for 22000-46000 reactors, i guess U-135 and Plutonium?

Absolutely not. The OP is not sugggesting this is a possible plan. He is pointing out it's impossible.

Who cares about other countries?

We care about other countries because they can nuke us if they are hungry.

>Who cares about other countries?

The USA can't build thousands of nuclear power stations either.

Nuking people with food isn't a good way to get food.

why would a single country have to build all the 1000+ reactors?
Also, if we had invested mote resources in making nuclear power plants more efficient, we would have to build way less

>Notice how little electricity is used in transportation
>24 out of 90
Looks like a fucking shit ton to me user.

The USA doesn't need to build thousands of nuclear power stations. It only needs to build enough to power itself.

We can also cut down on our power needs by eliminating everyone who spent the last fifty years preventing nuclear power from being built.

>why would a single country have to build all the 1000+ reactors?
>Also, if we had invested mote resources in making nuclear power plants more efficient, we would have to build way less

no country or group of countries could build that many.

OK so 10 countries have to build 100 reactors per year.

Can this be done?

uranium-235 accounts for only 0.7% of the mass of natural uranium

Advances in breeder reactor technology could allow the current reserves of uranium to provide power for humanity for billions of years, thus making nuclear power a sustainable energy. However, in 2010 the International Panel on Fissile Materials said "After six decades and the expenditure of the equivalent of tens of billions of dollars, the promise of breeder reactors remains largely unfulfilled and efforts to commercialize them have been steadily cut back in most countries. But in 2016, the Russian BN-800 fast-neutron breeder reactor started producing commercially at full power (800 MWe), joining the previous BN-600. As of 2020, the Chinese CFR-600 is under construction after the success of the China Experimental Fast Reactor, based on the BN-800. These reactors are currently generating mostly electricity rather than new fuel because the abundance and low price of mined and reprocessed uranium oxide makes breeding uneconomical, but they can switch to breed new fuel and close the cycle as needed

So keep in mind all new reactors have to be breeder reactors.

The industrial revolution started with a crisis in affordable fossil fuels.. James Watt sold steam engines to mining companies in England to pump out the ground water. Old horse driven pumps couldn't make it anymore. The steam engine changed a lot, for example made the manual weaving obsolete and started an new area in the textile industry. Bad for the weavers good for everyone else.
Humans are bad at planning and prevention but good at adaption, so I guess it will not be a collapse but some sort of new industrial revolution.

>The USA doesn't need to build thousands of nuclear power stations. It only needs to build enough to power itself.

it will need thousands if it's going to replace all the oil, coal and gas it uses now.

>OK so 10 countries have to build 100 reactors per year.
>Can this be done?

No.

I think Singapore bro mean green electricity(energy).

You seem to be operating under some strange assumption that anyone is interested in providing you with power.

That tiny orange line labelled 0.02 quads is how much electricity used in transportation in USA.

Why would it have to replace all the coal, oil, and gas it uses right now? The US is full of untapped coal, oil, and gas.
