Comment on nuclear fear-mongering is a ploy by Big oil
Forester@yiffit.net 2 months agoDid you even read your own article? It’s an opinion piece by one man. He’s using back of the napkin calculations just like I am, and while his math is mostly correct, and while I love his margins for error for increased solar required to take up the slack for unplanned issues with renewable power generation, he never discusses or how much money it would cost to buy up all of that land to implement that massive amount of solar.

I haven’t linked any articles, but Im about to. I know keeping track of simple comment chains is difficult for some people.

The cost of decommissioning reactors is unavoidable and factored into the lifetime cost of power delivery. They don’t last forever despite the fairy tales people believe about nuclear power.
Talking about land use, what about the storage of nuclear waste? Are you going to have it in your backyard?
