On: Space-based solar power is getting serious

[himlion]

Because of complexity, safety requirements and disposal of spent material.

If that's true, why is coal cheap? It releases way more radiation than nuclear, and kills > 100x more people per kWh on average.

Nuclear is expensive because of politics.

[Schroedingersat → hedora]

So we should add safety requirements to fossil fuels, then they'll be even more obsolete.

You're not making a great argument for your trustworthiness "not letting us poison the world and directly kill millions is unfair and political" is at least a rare piece of honesty, but hardly a compelling argument.
