I'm not who you responded to but my recollection is that most reactors are decades old. The old ones do well. but the new ones are unprofitable/have issues. ABWR, for instance, is unprofitable.
What is your source for ABWR being "unprofitable"? Anything beyond "people are saying"? Because I sure couldn't find any. So I asked Google. This is what Google said:
When isolating the existing, completed Advanced Boiling Water Reactors (ABWRs), they are highly profitable—provided they are actually allowed to operate.
1. If what you claim were true, if LLMs represent "what people are saying" it would still mean that the claim people here were making about "what people are saying" is false.
2. What you claim is false. The processes are quite different.
3. I did not present the Google answer as "the truth". I presented it only as what it is: "what Google said". In the context of "I couldn't find any online corroborations of the previous poster's claims".
If you confuse "this is what Google said" with "this is the truth", that's a you-problem.
The claim that ABWRs are "unprofitable" has now been asserted several times without any evidence whatsoever. Therefore, the only thing I actually have to do to dismiss that claim is say "wrong".
> If you lay it out like that, does it make what you say more true?
No.
It was just as true before as it is after.
> You were the one using that phrase.
I was using that phrase to describe what people were doing. Do you understand the difference between doing something and describing that thing that people are doing?
>> I did not present the Google answer as "the truth". I presented it only as what it is: "what Google said".
> Oh baloney.
That is literally what I wrote: "Because I sure couldn't find any. So I asked Google. This is what Google said:"
Again, if you can't tell the difference between "this is what Google said" and "this is the truth" then that is most definitely a you-problem. On three levels:
- first, they are literally and undisputably different words.
- second, believing that those two different sets of words mean the same thing is..."interesting".
- third, even if you yourself believe that these words mean the same thing (which, again, "interesting"), assuming that others partake in that interpretation is at best presumptuous.
