”Nothing about next-gen nuclear, which will eventually replace wind and solar.“

I remember years ago that a highly respected scientist claimed that a Fukushima-like event would only happen once every 10,000 years. He was off by three orders of magnitude. I will wait until Fukushima is cleaned up before trying to assess its long term consequences and costs.

Fukushima only happened because the outdated plant was forced to remain open well beyond its retirement date by not being replaced by more modern plants.

Perhaps you could do some research on next-gen nuclear.

Not quite the same as Fukushima (and other non next-gen nuclear plants).

Our energy needs will NEVER be covered by wind and solar.
