>"The whole lifecycle of nuclear power has been inventoried...
But if they didn't do the same for solar panels (materials mining, manufacture, manufacturing infrastructure, transportation and installation, decommissioning, etc.), it's a horrendously biased concept.
Also, determining a lifecycle of a nuclear plant is a crapshoot. Modern designs that can be replicated at scale will have much more production per unit of deployment cost than the one-off botch designs like those implemented in California by PGE and SMUD.
