I prefer efficient energy reliability over burning wood and pretending short life span windmills are producing ever more electricity. We'll get there eventually

I prefer efficient energy reliability over burning wood and pretending short life span windmills are producing ever more electricity. We'll get there eventually with small nuclear reactors but this is an unfortunate 'green' marketing and public relations driven period in energy history with a lot of sleight of hand and snake oil.. https://www.energy.gov/ne/articles/nrc-certifies-first-us-small-modular-reactor-design https://www.energy.gov/ne/articles/nrc-certifies-first-us-sm...

But you could see how others are equally offended that running a coal plant is currently glancingly profitable due to distortions by local regulation and political connectedness; costs passed on to me and you. Coal being the largest source of atmospheric mercury, which has no safe concentration, it’s unfortunate nuclear has the reputation of higher risk.
