minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•2 months agoNo where near perfect mass conversion… Max theoretical mass-energy conversion efficiency is under 1%
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink1•2 months agothat’s still waaayyyy more efficient than coal
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•2 months agoThat is a different level entirely. The mass-energy conversion from chemical processes is extremely small compared to nuclear processes, you can’t really compare the in any meaningful way

yes you can. coal costs ~32 cent per kWh, and uranium ~$0.0015 per kWh
