    There are plenty of safer, quicker technologies available. Repairing the US grid would give us 20% more power.

      There are no available technologies safer than nuclear, unless you’re talking about the construction. You’re literally more likely to fall and hit your head on a solar panel. Which can be serious electrical hazards for firefighters if you’re ever unlucky enough to get caught in a house fire.

        In a stable world yes, but we also wouldn’t have all those news when Russia puts boxes on solar panels instead of nuclear reactors and we don’t need no fly zones and fog machines around wind turbines.
