nuclear was green Jesus 50 years ago. Today it's been regulated into oblivion making it super expensive in most of the western world. that doesn't make the technology any less interesting and it still has huge potential as part of the mix. you can throw around your numbers for wind/solar + p2x but that shit is still experimental and will require insane investments in infrastructure that's usually not counted in the numbers spewed by the solar/wind is the new green Jesus lobby. my bet is still on nuclear winning the race eventually, but we'll have to see i guess. right now it's pretty insane here in solar/wind land (Germany, Denmark) er haven't brought down emissions one bit in a long long time and prices for electricity is fucking crazy. like people have to actively look if it's ok to boil water, turn on the oven or wash their clothes and we're effectively pulling the whole of Europe down with us because of the insane rules for the "free" market for electricity. but let's see who win out in the end.
