Or just build renewables and storage.

  And once the world is covered in non-operational solar panels and wind turbines, you think we'll be able to fix it? You think a massive worldwide recycling campaign is going to be easier than nuclear?

    Why would they be less operational than any other asset we use in our grids which we continuously repair, replace and upgrade?

      It's all about watts per pound of stuff that will need replaced

        We’re pretty good at making lots of simple stuff like solar panels. We’re less good at building small numbers of complex things like reactors.

          I agree, but my point was this aversion to complexity is our version of the fermi paradox. We're accumulating scars from our addiction to fossil fuels, and beyond that solar, and it's a matter of time before we go extinct as a result.

            In what way does solar leave scars?
