minus-squareViatorOmnium@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9arrow-down1·15 days agoInvesting in nuclear makes sense if we invent a time machine to start building the power stations about 20 years ago. Since we don’t have time machines, what we need is to increase renewable energy production and storage capacity, in the fastest time frame possible.
minus-squareCheeseNoodle@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10arrow-down2·15 days agoWhy not both? People have been complaining nuclear takes too long to build for several times longer than nuclear takes to build.
