Great. Coal mining could have gone in the forty years ago if nuclear had replaced coal. But I guess it was too dangerous, so now we get to live the hottest year

Great. Coal mining could have gone in the forty years ago if nuclear had replaced coal. But I guess it was too dangerous, so now we get to live the hottest years on record. Yay for safety, everybody truly did a great job.
- kristopolous 7y agoFalse equivalency. US is a net coal exporter. If we were 100% nuclear the mining would be the same and it'd be exported. Not a solution. Instead, Swanson's curve should have been accelerated pushing the cost economics of solar to have made it competitive at an earlier date. Then you wouldn't need global legislative compliance, it'd have been cheaper earlier
- TremendousJudge 7y agoI never mentioned the US.
- kristopolous 7y agoWhat were you referring to then? Also, there's more to power than coal and nuclear
