    Given that solar and wind are cheaper, get built to schedule and far less likely to have cost overruns, this meme is bullshit.

    Sure, nukes are great. But we need clean energy right the fuck now. Spending money on new nukes is inefficient when it could be spent on solar and wind.

      The best strategies are rarely single trick. Energy should be diversely sourced.

        Correct, but don’t forget that renewables is an umbrella term.

        If you use solar, wind, hydropower, geothermal and bioenenergy, you’re diversified and it’s all renewable. Add in storage and there’s not much of an issue anymore.

          Except having enough rare earth minerals to build all of that for all of the planets energy needs, forever.

          Yup, except that part it’s a great plan.
