Help me understand: isn’t solar a dead end? The sun doesn’t always shine, we need to 10,000x our battery capacity to run the world on solar, and we’d be strip mining the Earth for those battery metals. Nuclear is the only way. Obsession with solar only furthers oil (see Germany).

While both are carbon-free sources of electricity, the big similarities end there. The biggest differences between solar and nuclear power are the cost and time it takes to build each type of generating facility. Nuclear power is much more expensive and takes much longer to bring online.
