Turbines can be reconditioned. Solar panels retain about 80-90% of their efficiency after 25 years. The majority of materials in a solar panel (aluminum, glass, semiconductor materials) can be reclaimed and recycled. We haven’t stopped anything in the nuclear space. Small nuclear and other novel technologies get reasonable funding given their maturity and regulatory friction. Nuclear won’t take off until we get past the regulatory burden. We can’t sit around burning dinosaur juice hoping the government will modernize nuclear regulation. But we absolutely can pursue every avenue at once.
