why would Springfield, a town of just a few thousand people have its own nuclear power plant? ... and then Shelbyville, its sister town, have a nuclear plant also? Either these nuclear plants are the most inefficient, wasteful, and costly in the whole history of nuclear power, or something extremely fishy is going on here...

sneed, doo doo doo doo doo
oh chucky chucky doo doo doo doo doo
you are my feed and seed
oh formerly chucks

You seem to be mistaken, it is a solar power plant.

Why would you say that?
>>87732838
>>87732812
You mean formerly Brockman?
>>87732698
The Simpsons is real footage.
They also provided power to shebyville
>>87732698
do you realize you can transfer electricity elsewhere, don't you?
Why are they privately run? Also I'm like 90% certain that the Simpsons is the reason why nuclear power isnt more popular
>>87732698
There is absolutely nothing fishy going on there.
>>87732698
cmon.....
the plant puts its power onto the grid and probably powers a large % of the state (although grids are often larger than just one state)
>>87732698
Something fishy eh?
>>87733045
people have always hated it because of shit like 3 mile island, chernobyl and the association with nuke weapons.
The Nuclear Plant nearest to me is in a town with a population of 672. OP is fucking stupid, as always
>>87733045
yeah cause chernobyl, fukushima, and three mile island never influenced public perception on nuclear power.
>>87732698
>Why would France have so many reactors? What could they have to gain from a huge excess of power?
>one of the largest hydro dams in the world
>powering a town of 15k
Why are Americans such inefficient idiots?
>>87733045
I'm sure Chernobyl, three mile island, and fukushima managed to turn at least a handful of people off the idea.
>>87732698
>What is the national grid
How come Springfield has been show to be in the desert, near giant snowy mountains, at the ocean, basically in every possibly setting?
>>87733177
Are you in Canada by any chance?
of the three currently operational nuclear power plants in my state, the population of the towns they reside are as follows:
6924
2253
2888
>>87733226
With Fukushima, a fucking earthquake and a tsunami hit the plant.
How many people died? Zero.
How many were hospitalized? Two.
>>87733292
Nope
>>87732698
That sounds like something Burns would run, skimming off the top of government money while barely utilizing the funds on the plant, paying Quimby to look away, and given the people he employees it could be possible it barely functions at all. Shelbyville probably has it's own shadow Burns as well for it's own plant.
>>87733301
m-muh radiation though
>>87733290
When were they shown to be in the desert?
>>87733045
just one of the reasons democrats are a joke
>inb4 some attack on republicans
its just stupid for anyone to be anti nuclear power
>>87733290
springfield is in the pacific northwest, where matt groening grew up, which has all of those environments
>>87733297
Do you live in Wyoming or something?

Multiple times, earliest might've been the episode where Marge drives away with that new neighbour woman (whose daughter babysits Bart)
>>87733329
Homer worked as an oil rigger once.

>>87733226
most people dont know a TMI reactor is still producing power to this day (its shutting down sometime soon though)
thats how big of a deal TMI was
>>87733290
Probably because Springfield is is Oregon or Washington state. States which have all of those settings.
>>87733316
the radiation is practically harmless. You can visit and go on tours around Chernobyl and take in the same ammount of radiation as being on an aeroplane for 8 hours.
>>87732698
Psssssst, you can transmit electricity.
>>87732698
Or they did what everyone smart does: built the nuke plants near podunk towns that won't matter if they get irradiated and wire the power long distance to somewhere else
>>87733316
>>87733364
>doesn't want Pokemon to be real
>>87733503
Well Chernobyl can be hazardous if you run off into the exclusion zone and trip on some irradiated granite. Fukushima is hardly similar.
>>87733150
>>87733226
>>87733251
>chernobyl
seriously this is like refusing to drive a car because some drunk russian crashed theirs

Why did the Legion want the Dam again?
>>87733775
To hide the transformers of course
>>87733775
Muh westward expansion
>>87732698
Yeah lets just put it in the hart of a city. Gee nobody would have a problem with that. If anything goes wrong oh well it's just an entire city that can't be inhabited now.
Also as others have said what is the national grid?
>>87732698
Simpsons is just liberal propaganda. NUCWEAR ENERGY IS SCAWY
>>87733308
The owner of the Shelbyville plant is a Greek guy who is supposed to be a parody of Onassis
>>87733775
Area denial, and to cripple the NCR who are dependant on the dam's power production.
>>87733978
Brainlet.

Jesus, do you people have a script? Nuclear Power is on the whole cleaner and more efficient than any other power source.
>>87734353
im paid by the democrats to shit on a republican industry on a tv board yes.

what the frick is 3 mile island

Because is a top tier industrialist and saw that nuclear was the future.

In Canada, our nuclear power plants are located a couple hundred kilometres away from the big cities. It's not hard transporting energy, and it's safer for the location to be near a small town than a large city.
>>87735786
>and it's safer for the location to be near a small town than a large city.
And by that you mean, it satisfies all the fearmongering nimby's
>>87732812
Chuck's under new ownership
>>87732698
A centuries long rivalry between the two towns, perhaps?
>>87732698
>Either these nuclear plants are the most inefficient, wasteful, and costly in the whole history of nuclear power, or something extremely fishy is going on here...
Both are correct
>>87733235
>powering a town of 15,000
That's not how a grid works, retard. Plus over the past 50 years Hoover dam has produced, on average, enough electricity power 420,000 homes per year, not 15k.
Be honest OP, are you a literal fucking retard?

The Simpsons is responsible for more avoidable deaths than any other TV series. Literally millions of people have died from coal-power air pollution because of this show.
>>87732698
The main Springfield industry is aluminum smelting, but it's never shown because it's boring.
>>87737211
*assuming that the Simpsons alone is responsible for the public's view on nuclear power
*and that you ignore other preventable deaths being promoted, e.g. smoking
*and that you believe it's safe to directly attribute those millions of deaths to the singular source of air pollution
