I see a lot of arguments there going against nuclear plants but very little about alternatives. Of course I'd rather we all use solar panels, but until that becomes viable on a large scale, we need to move off the coal burning plants that currently produces almost all our grid's energy.
- rdl 13y agoNatural gas is a pretty good option in much of the US (particularly for peaking), combined with existing nuclear, plus hydro (largely maxed out in the US), and expanding solar and wind. Replacing coal with natural gas is a win overall, particularly for pollution other than CO2.
