> Nuclear is not cheap. It’s getting cheaper. The primary reason it’s not cheap currently is every reactor built is site specific. This will soon change with smaller reactors being built in factories then installed. > Something you can't say about nuclear. A technology from the past. This seems like an attack again on nuclear. Stars use nuclear reactions for energy, you’re alive because of a nuclear reaction. Why are you so quick to throw it out? And you still haven’t answered my question. What do these people do for power? I can’t put a wind turbine on the roof of my apartment anymore than a solar panel. And as your parent stated, there’s transmission and physical surface area concerns. Once we solve the energy problem, population growth is our next one. We can’t make anymore land, and people advocating for taking large swaths of land, or even ocean, are setting us up for future land use issues. Think beyond the immediate next step.

I'm looking forward to those sources on that bold claim. > This will soon change ...and I hope that claim was not based upon that wishful thinking but on actual facts which are valid today. > Stars use nuclear reactions for energy, you’re alive because of a nuclear reaction. Why are you so quick to throw it out? Nobody wants to turn off stars. This is a unnecessary derailment. And we're quick to throw it out because the money needs to go into renewable technology which can be deployed fast and cheap to face the current global crisis. > What do these people do for power?

Actually if you go back in history, yes before food storage and transport was a thing people did have to have a cow in their basement, or close by. I can go lay eyes on the reactors close to me, and other coal fired plants. Where will we put the massive panels and wind turbines? You’re still avoiding the question. > I don't even... So ignore the housing crisis? Again only think one step ahead? Do you think our population numbers are decreasing? How much land are the land factories putting out these days? Think ahead, taking large swaths of land is going to come back to bite us.
