But we are comparing solar to nuclear.

Being better than fossil fuels is a pretty low bar.

And yes better nuclear than oil but the whole thing about nuclear is that it has a very delayed start time, so the argument of needing it ASAP supports solar if anything.

While I consider myself pro nuclear, there is something that gets forgotten everytime this conversation comes up.

Nuclear produces waste, which is mentioned often but it is usually responded by pointing out that it could be recycled and the worse to be buried.

Here is what people miss:

Are all our nuclear waste handled correctly today? If not then why should we imply that they will be in the future.

The problem with nuclear isn’t that the waste is impossible to handle, it’s that humans are too short sighted to follow through with it.

And imo that’s a very valid argument on why we should use solar as much as we can.

I agree but don’t a decent chunk of posts do that?

More than Reddit ever did at least

Although I fully agree with you, there is no gotcha here. They are greedy and want the most for themselves, that’s it.

There is no greater force in the world than how glass half full Linux users can be, makes me so proud.
