I agree, but nuclear power and renewables are not an either/or story, it should be both. If at some point in the future nuclear fusion becomes technically and economically feasible, the calculations might change again, but in the meantime, nuclear plants do still have environmental and geopolitical implications because of the uranium required for them, while solar and wind energy are truly inexhaustible.

I agree that it can be all of them. Should any of them receive government subsidizes until they are profitable on their own?

The Real Reason They Hate Nuclear Is Because It Means We Don't Need Renewables The Shrike - 18/04/2019 07:33:37 PM 1270 Views
It would be even better if more widely adopted. LiterateDog - 18/04/2019 07:44:28 PM 832 Views
And according to Stan Lee, we will get superheroes out of it! *NM* Cannoli - 19/04/2019 03:55:21 AM 412 Views
Definitely agreed. The Shrike - 19/04/2019 01:08:14 PM 850 Views
I agree with a lot of this, though there's also stuff that irks me. Legolas - 18/04/2019 08:56:01 PM 870 Views

You keep making points better than I could. I agree with your criticisms of the article. *NM* Ghavrel - 19/04/2019 10:07:10 AM 388 Views

I'd say yes, but the devil is in the details... *NM* Legolas - 19/04/2019 06:57:07 PM 419 Views
Do you think the GND would have been proposed or even cooked up if the president was a Democrat ? AgentApple - 20/04/2019 05:04:47 PM 801 Views
I assume then there would've been a less half-baked plan, indeed. Legolas - 24/04/2019 06:20:52 PM 790 Views
I've never really connected the two... Jeordam - 18/04/2019 10:32:34 PM 875 Views
I never had much regard for that argument Cannoli - 19/04/2019 04:02:12 AM 854 Views

So as the nephew of nuclear power plant engineer, that means I'm the in-house expert & last word? *NM* Cannoli - 19/04/2019 04:08:45 AM 401 Views
You are the last word if we want to have a productive internet discussion Roland00 - 19/04/2019 04:18:08 AM 816 Views
They didn't mention the oil & coal industries. Cannoli - 19/04/2019 04:07:16 AM 834 Views
We still lack a long-term nuclear waste repository. Vodalus - 19/04/2019 08:10:23 AM 910 Views
No, we don't lack it. You pointed that out. Yucca Mountain is perfect. Tom - 23/04/2019 02:20:06 AM 797 Views
There's no political willpower to fund it. Until that changes we have no repository for n-waste. *NM* Vodalus - 23/04/2019 07:46:10 AM 410 Views
Doesn't matter what the "willpower" is. We have it The Shrike - 23/04/2019 07:18:27 PM 848 Views
The checkbooks. Kind of hard to do anything without someone having the “will” to pay for it. *NM* Dunstan - 23/04/2019 08:34:58 PM 386 Views
The Republicans aren't the enemy. They're the opposition... Roland00 - 23/04/2019 09:02:30 PM 791 Views
The facility was never completed. Vodalus - 23/04/2019 11:08:27 PM 854 Views
I don't think that it would take that long to complete. Dakaling - 24/04/2019 10:59:35 AM 902 Views
The other part of creating new nuclear facilities will probably take longer than this part. *NM* Roland00 - 24/04/2019 07:27:40 PM 436 Views
The Left wants to establish a direct connection between climate change and the evils of capitalism damookster - 20/04/2019 12:13:49 AM 776 Views
Perhaps it is the opposite? Roland00 - 20/04/2019 01:10:18 AM 824 Views
Perhaps not damookster - 20/04/2019 04:17:34 AM 784 Views
