Tens of thousands protest arrival of nuclear waste in Germany
What if the environmentalists knew what was really going on? What if the nuclear plants, so called, are really just places to dump excess electrical capacity?
Coal burning plants are hard to control. So the engineers generally run them at full capacity all the time. But what if the power isn't needed? Just dump it into a load. Like a water boiler, let's say. Then run a steam turbine with it, and say it's generating power from a nuclear pile.
What if people knew that a third or so of power generated by coal was dumped? They might protest that.
