    Everything has trade-offs.

    No shit?

    Solar needs a LOT of land, works only during the day. Less effective the further north/south you get from the equator.

    Guess what - we already take up a lot of land. Put some solar panels up there ffs. And geothermal’s a thing just fyi.

    Wave power generation only works along coastlines or out at sea.

    Damn you’re full of useful information.

    Nuclear plants can be built just about anywhere. And newer designs are extremely safe. Canada’s CanDu reactors are practically instructable.

    Instructable? Cool. That’s a thing nuclear designs should be.

    A proper solution is a baseline of nuclear with wind, solar, hydro being built where possible.

    We actually agree on that but your nuclear blathering takes too long. You got a 10’ x 10’ reactor for Hudson Bay then kudos, NOW can we get renewables set up OH AND a distribution network for our friends too far north or south to benefit from 12 hours of sun a day like in Norway o wait

      None.

      Guess what - we already take up a lot of land. Put some solar panels up there ffs.

      Can I send you the bill?

      And geothermal’s a thing just fyi.

      Same question.

      Damn you’re full of useful information.

      Most people think so.

      Instructable? Cool.

      Autocorrect on mobile is a thing. Nice deflection from the main argument that you can’t refute. I had meant to write “indestructible”, and it’s true. CanDu has several safety features and design features that make a meltdown functionally impossible.

      We actually agree on that

      I call bull on that, nearly every single comment from you is about how “nuclear isn’t safe”.

      your nuclear blathering takes too long.

      Words are hard, huh?
