There has never been a reactor that produced more energy than it took to construct? You sure about that?

Otherwise this is a capitalism meme, not a science meme.

    Economics is science too.

    Economics is a human made concept, not a universal fact.

    You would have been better off arguing it's important because it's math.

    Science, language and logic are human made concepts too. It is not like science is uncovering universal truth that was already there, it is also mediated through human symbols just like economics. Even maths cannot be equated to universal facts. It only makes sense within our human symbology.

    I do agree economics is the least worthwhile of all sciences. But the meme is about nuclear reactors too and they are sciency?

    Economics is a human made concept, not a universal fact.

    So are numbers and math.

    To stay real here tho, i made this meme because i noticed the number of people in this sublemmy, who are thinking that nuclear power plants are a solution to climate change, is to damn high.

    And i keep seeing them echoing tales that where seeded by the fissile fuel industry.

    I get that from a physics nerds standpoint nuclear energy is "cool" but that dosent make it a good overall solution to the problems we facing.
