Yeah nah, no one is saying that. What people are saying is that neither is fundamentally better than the other, and usage should depend on geographic conditions, sociopolitical considerations, materials and experience. Moreover, while both are not receiving sufficient investment and development, Nuclear in particular receives unwarranted opposition and remains unable to advance due to a lack of funding and support
We’ll have to disagree. Renewables can be scaled faster and cheaper and also secure the grid through decentralization.
I wouldn't even agree with the middle.
It's me, I'm the nuclear lobby.
Nuclear is the achievable & practical interim solution to power an industrial society until renewables become practical / scale up to meet demand. We can build reactors in the short term, they uncouple the economy from bad faith actors like russia & opec, and their more efficient than renewables at scaling right now. Small modular reactors can even be dropped into existing coal plants and recycle their steam turbine hardware.
Frankly I don't care if renewables are better in the long term, because there won't be one if we don't kill coal plants entirely very soon.
We’ll have to disagree. Renewables can be scaled faster and cheaper and have the added benefit of securing the grid through decentralization.
