Nuclear power is far from the solution, its the antithesis of a solved problem. It purports to solve one problem and introduces 10 forms of a living nightmare. Everything that we see as bad about hydrocarbons or renewables, nuclear has it and multiplies it some more. It is less environmentally friendly, produces more risk to human life through use, storage, and transport on a large scale. It cannot be used by nature unlike CO2 and lingers with harmful effects for tens of thousands of years. It is also much more expensive and has low reserves to service base load demand. It will be portrayed as safe by convincing people that elaborate safety systems will keep it so, systems which are based on nothing but paper trails and human good will, as if these have never failed or been used for evil.

I see nuclear power becoming the next energy religion once the shortcomings of renewbales are thoroughly exposed and Chernobyl and Fukashima are forgotten about, like much of history that is older than the year of ones birth. It will be a religion based on fear, greed, ignorance and zealous entitlement to abundant electricity. I don't think many people who advocate for nuclear have thought about whether they would want to live 100km from a nuclear plant or have trucks carrying radioactive material freely driving to a fro their neighborhoods hoping that none are involved in a crash in their area.

Windmills cannot do it, Solar panels cannot do it, Hydro needs dams to do it and they are banned by greenies. Gas has only 50 years reserves.
What do you suggest if these clowns want to replace coal at breakneck speed?
