Solar and wind can only generate depending on weather, which is now constantly changing in unexpected ways. Good luck building battery arrays that can power cities for weeks at a time during cloudy periods.

No, nuclear is the only way forward. We know it can work. We need to invest now. Solar and wind cannot power our collective needs, and even if they could, to build it out would require such a massive doubling-down in fossil fuels that the planet would be one big desert by the time we finished.




It has been scientifically proven that solar and wind can easily cover our collective need. Please stop spreading this lie.


That's news to almost all scientists and many solar and wind farm companies.

Do you have a peer reviewed paper or two "proving" this?


Explain how, please.
