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 1117 Views
It would be even better if more widely adopted. LiterateDog - 18/04/2019 07:44:28 PM 681 Views
And according to Stan Lee, we will get superheroes out of it! *NM* Cannoli - 19/04/2019 03:55:21 AM 335 Views
Definitely agreed. The Shrike - 19/04/2019 01:08:14 PM 714 Views
I agree with a lot of this, though there's also stuff that irks me. Legolas - 18/04/2019 08:56:01 PM 727 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 312 Views

I'd say yes, but the devil is in the details... *NM* Legolas - 19/04/2019 06:57:07 PM 346 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 664 Views
I assume then there would've been a less half-baked plan, indeed. Legolas - 24/04/2019 06:20:52 PM 648 Views
I've never really connected the two... Jeordam - 18/04/2019 10:32:34 PM 723 Views
I never had much regard for that argument Cannoli - 19/04/2019 04:02:12 AM 721 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 320 Views
You are the last word if we want to have a productive internet discussion Roland00 - 19/04/2019 04:18:08 AM 660 Views
They didn't mention the oil & coal industries. Cannoli - 19/04/2019 04:07:16 AM 695 Views
We still lack a long-term nuclear waste repository. Vodalus - 19/04/2019 08:10:23 AM 761 Views
No, we don't lack it. You pointed that out. Yucca Mountain is perfect. Tom - 23/04/2019 02:20:06 AM 655 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 335 Views
Doesn't matter what the "willpower" is. We have it The Shrike - 23/04/2019 07:18:27 PM 711 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 302 Views
The Republicans aren't the enemy. They're the opposition... Roland00 - 23/04/2019 09:02:30 PM 649 Views
The facility was never completed. Vodalus - 23/04/2019 11:08:27 PM 721 Views
I don't think that it would take that long to complete. Dakaling - 24/04/2019 10:59:35 AM 762 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 362 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 640 Views
Perhaps it is the opposite? Roland00 - 20/04/2019 01:10:18 AM 676 Views
Perhaps not damookster - 20/04/2019 04:17:34 AM 652 Views
