    And a households CO2 production is what they use for cooking and heating, moron.

    Heisenberg and Schroedinger are driving in a car, Schroedinger is driving.
    On the highway they get stopped by a cop, he tells them: "The speed limit is 65, you are 5 above it!"
    Heisenberg freaks out: "now we are lost!"
    While the physicists argue the cop opens the trunk and then asks: "Why do you have a dead cat in your trunk?"
    Schroedinger shouts: "Oh noes! Now he has killed the cat, too!"

    That does not change the problem of a "exploding" reactor at the slightest.
    It only might change the likelihood.
    The power plant in Tihange e.g. would pollute everything to the east, north east, south east under typical wind conditions. Probably affecting 20 million people in a single day and spreading farer to the east another 20 million over the next days, no idea how far Poland etc. would be affected.

    Your less than 1% number is unfortunately idiotic, and obviously wrong. But I don't care to search for real numbers.
    It does not produce Plutonium if that is the point you want to make.

    Also there are newer reactor types, mostly deployed in Canada, that basically run on natural Uranium.

    The average income is irrelevant, as it is related to the cost of living. Purchasing Parity is unfortunately often not correct, so no idea how it is in this case :D

    Well, the gap in the German experimental convoys is 20cm ... often less.
    But I guess the convoy length will be restricted to relatively low number.
    After all if the front car "crashes" it is likely that the following cars crash into the front car.

    No, the sides work equally well.
    However I doubt the area is big enough to give a reasonable increase in range.

    Every grid has pumped storages, never heard about country that has none.
    Otherwise you would need resistors to burn off excess electricity. You know: what you feed in has to be consumed. If you produce to much (and you always do that as most plants can only adjusted in steps of several dozen MWs) you have to you have to place the excess somewhere, and that is usually done with pumped storage as that is the most efficient, and has quick reaction times.

    A whole lot of hearsay from some guys who said they saw a guy walk on water 2000 years ago?
    That is a mistranslation from aramaic via greek into latin. "Walking on the water" is an aramaic idiom for "strolling at the beach".

    If something exists, then I think it is reasonable to say there is a way to prove that it exists.
    No, there is no such way.
    The only objective proof would be to find it and show it to others.

    You can search for ever and never find the thing you want to prove to be existing. However, not finding it does not make a proof that it does not exist.
