    There’s no stopping this trend without nuclear energy. Renewable are great, but they can replace nuclear in 100 years. We need nuclear power now to replace greenhouse gas polluting power plants.

      People are deploying much more renewables than nuclear because they’re cheaper for the first ~80% of decarbonization. Nuclear might get used for the last 20% if it can be done more cheaply than large amounts of storage.

      Oh yes, nuclear!

      THE fast solution for energy. It only takes like 20 years to build a plant, but what are 20 years if you talk stupid shit for “in 100 years”?

          I mean, you could just turn your device off. Or don’t you know how and try telling me in riddles?
