If the next-best alternative on point (c) was nuclear, nuclear is probably less polluting. But since nuclear is off the table, since people react really poorly to rare events that cause towns to be uninhabitable, the next-best for (c) is going to be natural gas or another fossil source. I'll take wind any day.
- Gibbon1 6y agoI read an essay talking about another field where the authors conclusions apply to nuclear vs wind and solar. He participated in research on low cost rocket designs. His take away was the actual design wasn't as important as building more rockets rather than less. With solar you make panels by the 100 million. Wind turbines by the tens of thousand. Nuclear by the low digits. Per year.
