Nuclear should be part of the solution. Solar is just too cheap not to do be part of it too. Since there are on demand sources (natural gas peakers, batteries, etc.) and because solar isn't replacing clean sources at this point in time, solar (and wind) can and should be part of the energy mix!
Here's one source. Plenty more if you Google it

- __pache__ 4y agowhat should I be looking at in this source? how does it scale? you can scale nuclear/hydro very easily for millions of people .. they inherently scale. solar does not, you need tons and tons and tons and tons and tons of panels. it does not scale. this seems so self evident. like people are holding their hands over their ears and eyes, ignoring the obvious...
- Schroedingersat 4y agoHow much new net renewables capacity was installed last year? What was the largest capacity of nuclear ever installed in a single year? Solar is scaling just fine. Installing 5-20 panels per person is hardly prohibitive. It's like claiming wheat can't feed people because it needs trillions of grains so we must stop wheat farming and only eat novelty sized pumpkin and elephant.
