    The more I learn about nuclear the less it makes sense. It’s a great source of energy but it’s complex and expensive to maintain. Solar, wind, hydro and geothermal are simple and becoming cheaper by the day. It’s hard to imagine a scenario in which we ever require more energy than those combined could provide.

      Solar and Wind can’t create a stable grid, you would need gas/coal backups.

      Hydro is fine but causes a lot of damage to river ecosystems and there is so much hydro you can build.

      Geothermal is probably best source of energy if you can get it but is only viable in few places.
