if they claim a 15lb Turkey feeds 12, how am I supposed trust any of the other numbers?

Can we also talk about the way they chose to manipulate the perception of the data by their choice of states

I thought this was going to be about how many turkeys you could cook directly using the reactor heat

my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined

Rookie Numbers. It only uses electrical power generated. Why not cook turkeys in heat destined for cooling towers ? Gotta push those numbers way up.

The fun part of this is this is true of any 1GW power source. We have been deploying solar+battery arrays in that range recently for much less money and much faster than nuclear.

Thanks "Office of nuclear energy" for pointing out how useful large scale solar+battery is too!

I really don't get this ackshually business about nuclear power, we're absolute idiots to not employ it more. Everywhere there's been a focus on nuclear power generation we're seeing reliable results over a long long timespan

How is this a meme?

I'd like to see this redone using energy instead of power. E.g is 2,400 watts during the initial heatup or when the oven reaches stable temperature? They're not taking into account the time change either.

2.5 Million Turkeys... and 500-1500 cubic meters of impossible to store basically forever radioactive nuclear (LILW) waste😋😋😋

Wow, didn't realize how anti-nuclear Lemmy is after looking at this comment thread.

Now calculate how many generations of turkeys will be eaten till the waste stops killing people

Edit: can't believe how many people here are falling for nuclear. Have you all learned nothing from what companies did with fossil fuels? Taking the profits and leaving humanity with a fucked up world? And now you are falling for the same stuff with nuclear again, I assume this is the discourse in america which is so scewed? Here in Europe people are not that naive... Even the ones in France, which is quite into nuclear are reasonable and see the waste problem normally.

And here on Lemmy people really come and say "nuclear waste isn't dangerous, it didn't kill anyone"

Wtf people?!

If people didn't all turn their oven on at the same time but took more of a staggered approach this would supply a lot more people.

With Vogtle expansion costing over $15B per gw, that is $6000+ per fed person, before counting the cost of importing uranium from Russia.

in a country where half of the presidents cant even pronounce nukular....and the only usecase for nukular is make some machines like openAI work cheaper. go eat the nukular waste george.

If you cook me a 15lb turkey in 3 1/2 hours that burnt dry shit is going in the trash.
