People who think solar and wind power can perform like the traditional power generation stations are idiots. Besides, windmills and solar panels are a waste of real estate as well as an eyesore. Many scenic areas have bee destroyed by windmills.

From your mouth to g-d’s ears.

Since solar and wind need back up power any way (batteries in the case of this article) then why not install a nuclear plant. (New designs are safer, leaving only the waste issue to solve.)

The last problem with solar and wind is the large area of land that is required. Nuclear can fit within the footprint of today’s natural gas plants that they will replace.
