Be like Germany, close down your nuclear plants, then buy the energy you're now failing to produce from your friendly French neighbor, that has extra power thanks to their nuclear plants.

We've got a weird confluence of that kind of politicking in Kentucky

They shut down a reactor here, raised the power bills because of lower production of energy

But that just means more coal to need mining

just lower taxes for companies who makes "clean energy"

nuclear energy is not the only clean energy

Try explaining to environmentalists, where the uranium comes from. They scoop it up from the ground.

i mean, Africa can be used to gather solar power

So the more uranium we use, the less radioactive the environment becomes.

There are basically two ways to gather solar power. Solar panels, that are very nasty to make, and require non-trivial maintenance... or with mirrors pointing at a boiler, which needs... water.

@DanConway he's angry

Some panels can lose up to 3% efficiency per year. That's not counting the erosion and dirt accumulation over the panels.

RE; Mirrors at a Boiler

Those burn the wings of birds. Literally.

You're thinking about it wrong.

We're guiding evolution.

Weeding out the birds that can't figure out the extremely bright, hot boiler is dangerous.

The main problem, regardless, is, it's not always sunny. It's not always windy.

Not many good ways to store the excess power, when you happen to have an excess.

So, invest in better batteries

Invest in nuclear power

or even cold fusion

Batteries are even nastier to make than solar panels, and degrade even faster.

just gotta find a way to deal with the byproduct, other than that its pretty environmentally safe

"other than that"

lol

I mean it doesnt pollute the ai

air*(

It pollutes the river by my house

Doesn't pollute anything if you do it right.

@DanielKO
Currently, yes

If it gotta leak probly, then ye may wanna get hazmat team in tho

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanford_Site#Environmental_concerns

HMMM

It's still actively leaking. No one's doing anything

Yeah probly gotta fix couple kinks in the system

But there is a solution for all problems

What if we just invade the saharah desert

Take a big piece of its land

Make oil rig looking things on top of it
