      Nuclear isn’t very clean when we can poison a quarter of the earth with it because we’re too dumb to handle it.

      Also renewables.

      Also incorrect. We need whatever reduces total cumulative emissions the most.

      A solar panel today does a lot more than a nuclear reactor in 2045. And installing 5W of solar (which will average 1W) today only costs you the opportunity to build 0.15W of nuclear (which will average 0.12W).
