    IDK if you know this, but renewables aren’t on their own to cover all of our power needs everywhere.

      That nonsense has been debunked so many times. And no matter what, it’s simply physically impossible to build enough nukes quickly enough to have a meaningful impact.

        Are we talking about the same thing? I’m talking about nuclear energy not nukes. And if you are talking about nuclear power plants, in what world do you think it’s impossible to build enough to have a meaningful impact? Each power plant produces a crazy amount of energy. Far more than solar and wind can. Solar and wind by themselves will in no way overtake fossil fuel power plants fast enough. Nuclear energy would be a great replacement until then.
