Your knowledge is out of date. The new Gen IV plants have no meltdown risk and eat the nuclear waste from older plants as their fuel. It is the MOST planet-friendly technology by a huge margin. Solar and wind can't come close.

You must be joking. Solar and wind are already writing long-term Power purchase agreements for 3 - 4 cents per kWh. The new Hinckley Point C nuke plant in the UK needs a guaranteed price of 14 cents per kWh

Solar and wind could be free and they would still suck compared to Gen IV nuclear. Unless you only want to watch TV when the wind is blowing (I exaggerate for humorous intent). But in any event, I'm sure you numbers are wrong. Must be forgetting govt subsidies?

Scott on youtube now saying Trump solved climate change with Gen IV nuclear. Staggering naivety from a smart guy.

Okay, genius, let me know what I got wrong. I await your brilliance.

The fundamentals inc complex expensive technology producing dangerous waste that lays around for tens of thousands of yrs. In contrast, solar/wind has been a huge success story in the past 10yrs.

Granted wind/solar do have an intermittency problem with no easy solution. But nuclear is a long shot solution.

Smartgrid that moves renewable energy over long distances a solution worth looking at. HDVC line losses only about 3% over long distance.

Gen IV plants eat nuclear waste for fuel. Any waste left over lasts only a few hundred years. Solar/wind's other problem is economics: low ratio of energy to land area = huge recurring maintenance costs.

You cannot 'eat' nuclear waste. Some people on here need to take a basic physics course.

Reading comprehension problem. Not a science problem.

He's also responding to a physicist who understands how waste from older-gen plants is reprocessed. Pardon if the colloquial use of "eat" was unclear.
