Even if you ignore capitalism, at some point they fatigue and break to the point where they cannot be repaired, but need to be replaced.

You don't have to demo a whole building to replace a machine. When they need to be replaced, replace it.

Money is literally the only excuse here. Greed is what prevents us from advancing, it's the reason we never switched from coal and why we are likely not going to last another 100 years. The old rich fuckers don't care, they aren't going to live that long anyways, and their children are going to be rich enough that even their descendants 10 generations from now will live comfortably in the hell we are turning the planet into.

No, it's not just about greed. The reactor itself, it's housing, and equipment around it have a definite lifetime to them, no matter how much you'd wish otherwise.

Better to decommission before it becomes unsafe, and build a next gen better new one.

Except Germany didn't build better new one.

Well that's a different problem than I'm arguing.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
