@umbrella@lemmy.ml It's the only way they can use "clean energy" Wind and/or Solar can't replace coal , oil or gas power plants.

@spiritedpause @worldnews It's sleight-of-hand. Fossil fuels - the wealthiest industry in human history - has successfully kept nuclear and renewables at a 10% market share since the first electric car over a hundred years ago. Sacrificing future generations so fossil fuels billionaires get another yacht, is the fashionable abuse-of-power, nowadays.

Nukular was between 15 and 20% in the 90s. It decline afterwards to now 9%.

Good. We should be in the nuclear age now with an electric infrastructure already in place and looking forward fusion and renewables.

Trying to go from fossil fuels to renewables is too difficult a step.
