Given the actual build times of nuclear plants in Europe, vs the renewables build out rate, we need solar and wind to tide us over for a decade or more before the nuclear plants come on line.


Solar and wind cannot do that. We'll need oil and gas to tide us over for that decade or more.


Solar and wind are scaling much faster than gas and oil right now. After the recent Iran war I think it would be insane to rely on new oil or gas. Yeah let’s rely on this commodity whose supply and price are controlled by the dumbest egomaniacs on the planet.

Don't talk about Americans that way!


We aren’t making a very good case for ourselves on the world stage are we…


Some gas, but we can reduce it by an order of magnitude. Either way nuclear is not coming online quickly.
