    Do you have data on that? A modern nuclear power plant is going to be in the 500-1000+ MW range. I have a hard time imagining that even operating at half capacity that they do not offset the carbon used for concrete within a relatively short order. But if that is in fact the case I’d love to see data saying so, so that I can correct my thinking.

      Kyle Hill has a nice video about power plants waste disposal, one of cleanest methods there is.

      edit: he actually went to the plant and showed how it’s done

        He literally hugged and kissed a canister of nuclear waste to show how safe it is. Kyle Hill is my hero
