...but nuclear bad and solar good.
- Arnt 3y agoYou're pretending that uranium mines don't disturb any habitats. And maybe that nuclear power can avoid being overpriced. (BTW, one of the major cost rises for nuclear power also happened in California, when the risk models were extended to cover seismic activity. Nuclear power was cheaper back when it was legal to disregard most risks.)
- kgabis 3y agoGood thing solar panels appear out of thin air and don't need any mining to be manufactured.
- Arnt 3y agoWell, if you want to go into that: Building a solar panel needs mining, rather like how building a nuclear power station does. Once the solar is there, the sun supplies the fuel, not a mining process. If you're a programmer, you might say that solar has O(1) mining while nuclear has O(n).
