    Renewables are better, cheaper and more scalable. Its not even close. Look at Denmark for how it can be done.

      Denmark looking decidedly not green this morning. It’s sunny, but virtually no wind - might be like this for another week. Check the map regularly to understand why unreliable energy is actually just a way of increasing gas usage.

        Okay, where is the comparison to nuclear? For that you have to build massive infrastructure, that costs billions, that no one want to insure, thats why it has to be backed by state money. After that the waste has to be managed by the state too, because no company wants to deal with the liability of radioactive waste for thousands of years at least, so that, too, comes out of the taxpayers pockets.

        I don’t like fossil fuels, but this is just plain stupid

        (and also as a cherry on top, tschernobyl, fokushima)
