Technically, solar is nuclear

...when something goes wrong...

Which happens very seldom, with all the protective systems that have been developed from the experience of the few that did. Subs and carriers with mostly twenty-something crews have outstanding safety records even compared with conventional power systems.

The biggest threat I can envision is sabotage.

Lying climate propagandists. Coal and nuclear are NOT DEAD. The reasonable states-- the so-called RED states-- are keeping our nuclear reactors, thank you. What else are you going to use to make base load, genius? I worked in the industry, so I know what is required.

You'd have us in rolling blackouts 24/7.

I have read a few books on Chernobyl. It was an old reactor design with no containment vessel. They has already had incident with a RBMK reactor outside of Leningrad. Add poor materials, poor construction, arrogant scientist, and bureaucracy that cares little about anything except results and it is a disaster waiting to happen.

Just for fun, research the number of people who died as a result of the earthquake and tsunami versus the number of people who died from the nuclear plant.

[Locomotive Breath]

No argument from me.

Big wind, sleazy solar, suppress nat gas.
The cornerstones of the Biden energy plan.
I think the only positive is to figure out how to tap into that 3 bil plus green stim on the way.
