This is an unsupportable assertion. Nuclear power costs far more than the alternatives (mainly Wind/Solar), none of which impoverish people nor drastically increase the price of food.
- whatthesmack 7y agoThe difference is that one (nuclear) can deliver energy consistently, while the other (wind/solar) simply cannot. Wind/solar just aren’t comparable at this point. If an energy source isn’t producing energy when you need it, it isn’t an energy source. As GP said, nuclear is the only option.
- jhayward 7y agoYou'll have to help me out. The assertion is that all things that aren't nuclear "decimate the poor and drastically increase the price of food". Can you suggest some reading material that would tell me how wind and solar do those things?
