Given that solar and wind are cheaper, get built to schedule and far less likely to have cost overruns, this meme is bullshit.

Sure, nukes are great. But we need clean energy right the fuck now. Spending money on new nukes is inefficient when it could be spent on solar and wind.

The best strategies are rarely single trick. Energy should be diversely sourced.

We already have 30% nukes. Right now we need more solar and wind. I’m not saying shut down nukes. They are good. They are just a waste of money and time to build new when we have cheaper and easier to produce alternatives.

Where is this that has 30% nuclear already?
