Really? That's not even 1% true. The $20 billion price tag should be your first clue. Despite the triple meltdowns at Fukushima using American technology, building a nuclear plant is still allowed, but the idea is now radioactive.

Throw them into a Hawaiian or Mexican volcano
Going the volcano route however is workable, if we use the Yellowstone caldera, because while the same processes would happen as in the smaller volcanoes, when it erupts some hundreds of thousands of years from now, the noxious fumes and metals would be the least of our worries.
How much above the going rate are they paid for what they
sell back to the grid?
Yet they hate nuclear power, the cleanest of all.
I saw this a few weeks ago:
Wind energy companies will have the option of using decommissioned wind turbine blades as backfill material when reclaiming surface coal mine sites soon, thanks to a new bill signed into law earlier this year.
There is a pic that is laughable.

That is steam ...
Steam is the number one greenhouse gas.
No, they cannot be recycled, at least not without wasting a lot of energy and material.
Solar cells are made with gallium arsenide, hideously toxic.
They have a half life of 15 to 20 years, which means you only get half the energy output after 15 to 20 years.
Those stacks are releasing steam—not CO2!
It seems to me that any energy policy that requires emergency backup on a daily basis, is the definition of waste and redundancy.
Typical liberal thinking. They do not think things through to the inevitable ending.
There is a reason why most liberals are not part of the STEM portion of the education system. They gravitate to ‘studies’, social sciences, etc. Such subjects never think through the consequences whereas STEM subjects have a correct answer, not an opinion answer.
Bury them together with the broken wind turbines.
>>I think nuclear power should be a major part of our energy future.<<
If we can’t develop our oil&gas industry, we have to go nuclear unless we expect our Armed Forces to accept the Tesla technology.
Pack the panels in cargo nets. Use choppers to fly the nets over active volcanoes, like Mauna Loa, and release the nets.
Nature has provided these furnaces for our usage.
but it’s GREEN ENERGY!.........................................................../S
It would be great to find a way to use the enormous amount of power the sun dumps on the earth each day. I don’t think solar panels are any more than the starting point. Some of the mirror and stirling engine technology looks interesting.
