    Wind and solar > nuclear > fossil fuels

    Nothing really against nuclear except how it is being weilded as a distraction from better, cleaner, energy. We need to be going all in on converting everything to wind and solar, with batteries and other power storage like water pumping facilities filling the gaps.

    Nuclear needs a few more issues figured out, like how to actually cheaply build and get power from all those touted newer cleaner reactor styles.

      Not sure why you people think it’s one or the other.

      We can’t meet our energy needs with just wind and solar.

        This isn’t true. We very much can.

        Have you considered that the sun is a gigantic self sustaining ball of fusion that bathes our entire planet in an amount of power you cannot comprehend in its scale, every single day? Because that is a big part of it.

          Maybe I’m wrong.

          That would be nice, but I don’t think it’s the case.
