Because I don’t agree with you that nuclear energy is clean and solar is an ineffective use of resources, I am drinking kool-aid?
With that single statement alone, I think everyone can see who is drinking the red stuff.
“Because I don’t agree with you that nuclear energy is clean and solar is an ineffective use of resources, I am drinking kool-aid?”
It’s a matter of numbers.
Solar costs 4 times to 10 times the alternatives. By any reasonable definition that is ‘ineffective use of resources’. are you willing to spend 30 cents a kilowatt for energy or 6 cents a kilowatt. And how much American manufacturing would you be willing to see shut down and jobs lost due to our uncompetitiveness in choosing expensive energy? 100,000 jobs? a million jobs?
Yes, nuclear is clean. Zero carbon footprint. Zero emissions. Tiny amounts of waste compared with say coal plants. Well-managed processes for the whole life cycle. The most strictly managed industry and source of energy, with very good 40 year safety record in US commercial operation.
less disruption to environment than even wind and solar, which take up space and real estate, impacting natural habitats, causing noise, etc.
