At the very least we can stop shutting down the plants we currently have.
There is a finite amount of infrastructure that can be built at any one time: instead of shutting down nukes and building renewables to take their place, we should be shutting down fossil fuel plants and having renewable take over them.
Once all the fossil fuel plants are gone we can talk about nuclear at that point.

- pvaldes 5y agoRunning old 70's plants until they crumble and fail with "the mother of all messes" does not seem like an economic or sensible option.
