Even if isn't available now, you can start building now. This isn't the gotcha many think it is.
A nuclear plant will provide decades of energy without emitting carbon into the atmosphere. In all that time, build towards a future where the nuclear plant isn't needed. The promise of a wind and solar future is still several decades in the future. Why wait for that when we have a problem right now?
- adrianN 5y agoBecause building a sufficient number on nuclear reactors will take a comparable amount of time to building a sufficient number of wind turbines, PV panels, and storage, while also posing problems with public acceptance and nuclear proliferation. It's also unclear whether that would be cheaper or more expensive.
