  Many people seem to think that’s the idea. I don’t know about you, but when you frame the discussion as solar vs nuclear, that is what you are suggesting.

    I mean, it’s fair to compare the two techs but that’s different from suggesting that you need a single approach to generation. No one is seriously suggesting that only solar for generation is sensible

      I’m not sure if this is your first conversation on the topic but the debate is almost entirely on renewables vs nuclear.

        There are many other types of renewables than just solar.

        Did you notice yourself using the word “solar” in this conversation rather than “renewables”?
