Suck for these people.
Why do I need to be empathetic for those reasons? People break laws all the time, am I supposed to be empathetic for every one of them because it was an accident? What defines an accident in your eyes? What defines an accident in my eyes? Many people in prison are fathers and fellow hunters...- SD_Prairie_Goat

Suck for these people.
Accidents happen, does that mean we shouldn't be held accountable for them? because that's not the way their criminal justice system works as fast as I can tell. There doesn't appear to be a difference in the law of accidental vs premeditated.- SD_Prairie_Goat

Very true. Hard to come by it seems lately though. If you go on vacation this winter hill, don't bring ammo along for the ride!- SD_Prairie_Goat

Man you think that's bad, you should read about US citizens arrested for seemingly benign laws in other countries, touching someone's arm, atheism, hijab use, etc. This couple very clearly broke the law, also would have broken US law. Meat eater article incorrectly states it was in their...- SD_Prairie_Goat

Gillette WY to build nuclear power plants
In this theoretical example, lesser issues. Power continuity is critical in war time. A micro( or traditional) is self sustaining for a fairly long time. Great for operational readiness- SD_Prairie_Goat

Gillette WY to build nuclear power plants
Right now there's no pipeline to fairbanks, so I doubt they can truck enough LNG from Anchorage to keep up with a gas burner. Plus that isn't great for if Russian invades for example. Hard to keep that gas flowing as it would be a critical failure point.- SD_Prairie_Goat

Gillette WY to build nuclear power plants
Without knowing how they plan to do the project it's tough to say, but it reads like the govt would pay to build the reactors like any other building on base, then have a third party run the reactor and buy the power. That would help the numbers, but again massive speculation. Also, with the...- SD_Prairie_Goat

Gillette WY to build nuclear power plants
Govt is a piece of the puzzle no doubt. Buy being in base it'll save from having to win over the public for the most part. Cost, no real idea. I'd ballpark it and say it'll be less than $400M. Last time they tried building a traditional reactor down south I think price ballooned well over $1B...- SD_Prairie_Goat

My honest guess? 10 years is optimistic based on the requirements of the nuclear regulatory agency and the current roadblocks- SD_Prairie_Goat

Gillette WY to build nuclear power plants
Not applicable to how these will be built. Large turbines are more expensive as they are harder to machine to tighter tolerances, transport, etc. Land is a wash, micro reactors will all be on a common site. Think 20 small reactors instead of 2-4 huge ones on a 250 acre piece of land Building...- SD_Prairie_Goat

Source? Or speculation? Because micro reactors aren't approved yet last I heard. Or assumption based on traditional cost model for facility construction?- SD_Prairie_Goat

100% lots of benefits but the biggest will be lower initial capital cost which is holding back new nuke plants currently. Or one of the major hurdles I should say- SD_Prairie_Goat

Gillette WY to build nuclear power plants
The idea for micro reactors is the ability to have many small ones in parallel rather than one to four massive ones. That enables you to be able to have smaller more cost-effective containment areas rather than multi hundreds of millions of dollars in containment features of the old traditional...- SD_Prairie_Goat

The Devil's Lettuce
It's getting more and more accepted in the US despite what our govt of all levels wants. One of the biggest issues I still see with it is being able to test if you're actively high or just left over in your system from the night before. That being said I firmly believe alcohol and cigarettes...- SD_Prairie_Goat
