    Why do you think it has to be only one or the other? Do you really think this is a problem with a single choice that fixes it? Where is your critical thinking?

    There is no “all-in” on renewables. Renewables as they are today aren’t truly renewable. Where’s the lithium going to infinitely come from for batteries? How about the cadmium used to manufacture some of the most efficient and long lasting solar panels? How are we going to clean those up? I can bring up a TON of issues with “renewables”. That doesn’t mean we don’t use them.

    Stop being so simple minded, this is the most complicated problem we’ve ever faced and it cannot be solved with a simplistic “all-in” investment in renewables. I’m not even suggesting nuclear is an “economical” idea. The only person here caring about “economical” are the anti-nuclear shills like you.

    We’re past the point of needing to be concerned with economical. The reality is that nuclear power is the cleanest, most effective source of power we have right now. You really need to educate yourself on renewables, the manufacturing process behind them, and the infrastructure required to make them viable. They aren’t as “clean” or “renewable” as you think.

    Nuclear, solar, wind, and hydropower are what we need. You cannot achieve clean energy without nuclear and hydropower. It’s literally physically impossible. The laws of physics are not on your side and I really don’t know how to get this through to Luddites any more.
