On the coming weekend we'll talk about what's the probably most complex topic I've talked about ever, and one that many people have asked me over and over to do a video about: Nuclear power. In my video I'll summarize all the facts with up-to date numbers and also comment on the new technologies that are being developed: thorium reactors, molten salt reactors, and small modular reactors. It's a topic that many people feel strongly about & expect that this video will cause some heated discussion. I'm kind of worried about it -- I don't want to upset anyone, I just think it's always good to have all the numbers together in one place. Fingers crossed that it'll go well.

Auch ich, jeden Samstag Nacht. :)
Das Thema ist sehr wichtig und aktuell! Ich freue mich darauf.
I hope renewables supercede nuclear power but as things are, we still need to produce nuclear medicine treatments, so we're still somewhat reliant on nuclear.
I am really looking forward to this one. Full disclosure: Everything in life is a trade-off. Whatever the downside of nuclear, it's better than coal or gas. Disposing of a few thousand tonnes of solid waste per year has got to be easier than dealing with gigatonnes of CO2. Can we get to 100% renewables? I'd be delighted to be proved wrong but, based on reasonable extrapolations of present-day technology you have to colour me sceptical.
