No they aren’t, for one and I wasn’t just talking about uranium but the refining of it - these definitely favor Russian in a war of resources.

I care. I care that we don’t make a rash decision for a potential short term solution. Why not ramp up solar / wind and other alternatives?

Define “clean”

Oh, and Nuclear Power plants are just plopped down? Your comment wreaks of pie in the sky, uneducated bullshit.

Solar and Wind don’t take nearly as much fuel, maintenance, zoning, upfront costs or be subject to international power plays like nuclear power.

But this is my argument against those who complain about Solar and Wind – those won’t kill you or destroy a location for hundreds of years if they break down and once they’re installed they don’t have to be fed by more mining, or anything else. Just wind and sun.

…and how long does it take for a nuclear power plant to be zoned, and constructed? …and where’s the fuel coming from? It isn’t thin air.

Why do I feel like the call for more nuclear power has just been another sneaky ass ploy by Russia to use resources as a source for power?

Edit: yup. Thanks for convincing me.

They look really happy though.
