Solar power will come online faster than nuclear anyway, just need to make 100x more solar panels per year to have solar for all energy usage in a few years. Seems to take 10 years to build nuclear power plants. Store excess power in batteries or convert to chemicals. There's enough gas in the gas pipes of the world for days of energy.
- Kaiyou 7y agoTo make solar panels certain materials are needed, which we do not have an abundance of. There's also limited space as to where to put them. On the other hand, if there weren't as many people consuming energy, we wouldn't need as much. But killing off 95% of humanity is unethical, after all.

- Kaiyou 7y agoHumans don't only live on a small area, so how do you get the generated electricity to where the humans live? And what if someone attacked this small area? Seems like a bad idea.
