Nukes provide 10% of the electricity in Calif. That is a dinky number. So nukes are only apart of the solution.
The total solution comes from a multitude of fuel sources including nukes, water,fossil fuels, and alternative and or renewables.
The difference is that nukes have the capacity to be the entire solution--geothermal does not. And the main reason that number is as small as it is in California is that the folks there have bought the eco-lies, hook, line, and sinker and forced the shutdown of nuke plants, instead of building more as fast as possible (which is what they SHOULD be doing).
"The total solution comes from a multitude of fuel sources including nukes, water,fossil fuels, and alternative and or renewables."
Lets see. The Greens tell us we can't build nukes (they might melt and release radiation), we can't build dams (they harm the fishies life cycle), we can't build fossil fuel plants (they cause global warming), we can't build windmills (they hurt the birdies). I'm sure they'll come up with reasons why we can't use solar or geothermal, either.
But of the sources listed, only two have the capacity to replace fossil fuel usage---nuclear fission and solar.
