I repeat: solar and wind aren’t capital constrained. We’re already installing solar and wind as fast as we can, so spending an extra $5B isn’t going to get you

I repeat: solar and wind aren’t capital constrained. We’re already installing solar and wind as fast as we can, so spending an extra $5B isn’t going to get you any more solar or wind, so we should spend the extra money on other clean energy sources.

We're not constrained to only silicon or cadmium panels either, there are more expensive or less efficient (but still vastly cheaper than nuclear) chemistries that are made from abundant materials. Or just do any of the other things on the list I mentioned. Getting 400 commuters out of cars and into a train is an instant 4MW saving.
