If you're being honest about your background, then you're being dishonest about understanding the term.

I don't have time for your games.

Give me a description of what a "Rickover Pile" is. What is the moderator? How is it cooled? How does it produce power to drive a ship?

Actually, GE and Westinghouse (I can toss Combusting Engineering in for exactly 1 design) designed and built the Navy's reactors. What Rickover did was make the general specifications based on what the Navy needed. The three I had to damn near memorize down to the last nut and bolt were the S5W, S5G, and A1W.

Yup.

You got it right.

God you sure don't know what you are talking about

It’s not me you blathering idiot. That’s the data. Go check out yourself you lazy twit.

Rig count was about 800 under Trump, is currently a little under 600.

I got told recently that shale wells have a short lifespan, which if true means that production will decline without more wells being drilled.

In Germany, wood pellet stoves are popular for home heating since electricity is far too expensive and inefficient, and coal and increasingly natural gas are not an option. They're cutting down huge swaths of forest in Europe and the US to feed Germany's market for wood pellets.

TCEQ is Finally Doing Something About an East Texas Polluter

After years of inaction, the state environmental agency is poised to force German Pellets to install pollution controls at its Woodville processing plant.

Wood Pellet Company Polluting East Texas at 10x Permitted Rate

A wood pellet company is polluting at ten times the rate it's supposed to. Time for pollution controls? Nope. TCEQ wants to just make their air pollution permit match the higher amount.

Until you realize that Europe is denuding itself of forests for wood pellets and is now seeking to do much the same thing to N. America.

Europe Is Sacrificing Its Ancient Forests for Energy (Published 2022)

Governments bet billions on burning timber for green power. The Times went deep into one of the continent’s oldest woodlands to track the hidden cost.

EU woody biomass final policy continues threatening forests and climate: Critics

Revisions to the long-debated European Union Renewable Energy Directive (RED) have been approved. Those policies still support the burning of wood pellets to make energy, despite evidence of harm to forests and climate, say NGOs.

nuclear produces more energy by weight than oil.

Oil produces more energy by weight than coal.

Coal produces more energy by weight than wood.

That's why the sane people stopped using wood as the primary source to produce energy over two centuries ago now.

All the equipment out there today is being used, and all the equipment being built is already bought years in advance.... Just saying.
