Ultimately it’s a problem that needs to be solved for, but our failure to do so is simply a matter of political will, not a fundamental characteristic of the fuel source.

I'd rather risk a solar spill or wind leakage than rely on systems (run to maximize profit) to prevent deadly accidents - TWuG Oct 29, 11:15 5
- solar and wind can't be used as baseload. You have to have oil/gas/hydro.nuclear -- nm - Beaker Oct 29, 11:37 3
  - You don't. For wind/solar you also need storage. - TWuG Oct 29, 11:39 2
    - Just zap the extra around the circuits continuously like Snowpiercer. -- nm - Full Size Candy Baron Oct 29, 12:05 1
      - That’s…not how electricity works? -- nm - znufrii Oct 29, 12:08
- You're not wrong, but if 40 years of anti-nuclear-protest had been applied to climate change instead, maybe we'd be in a better place. - Beryllium Oct 29, 11:18
