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.
"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
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
Let's drain the mediterrainian into the desert
But they have solar panels on em
I'm talking about the investment to improve certain technologies, you just want to stick to what works.
Not a bad idea, but it would be better to produce other sources too
