Instead of starting research on safe nuclear options, with results who knows when, we should go all in TODAY on established and safe regenerative energy options

Instead of starting research on safe nuclear options, with results who knows when, we should go all in TODAY on established and safe regenerative energy options available right now: Solar and Wind.
Every cent we invest in nuclear research is lost to the immediate solutions.
- acidburnNSA 5y ago> Every cent we invest in nuclear research is lost to the immediate solutions. This would only be true if 100% of GDP was spent on climate solutions. In reality, it's not a zero sum game like this. If some people get excited about nuclear and want to invest while others are excited about wind and solar, then that's great. The more the merrier!
- orthecreedence 5y agoSolar and wind can only generate depending on weather, which is now constantly changing in unexpected ways. Good luck building battery arrays that can power cities for weeks at a time during cloudy periods. No, nuclear is the only way forward. We know it can work. We need to invest now. Solar and wind cannot power our collective needs, and even if they could, to build it out would require such a massive doubling-down in fossil fuels that the planet would be one big desert by the time we finished.
- jsilence 5y agoIt has been scientifically proven that solar and wind can easily cover our collective need. Please stop spreading this lie.
- Accujack 5y agoThat's news to almost all scientists and many solar and wind farm companies. Do you have a peer reviewed paper or two "proving" this?
- orthecreedence 5y agoExplain how, please.
