    Technically yes, people keep dieing on the windmills.

    This is not me saying we need to build less solar or wind. We still need to build more and we also need small modular reactors to provide base load. If we had the battery capacity to store renewables at scale I would be for it however we do not.

      Do you have a source for the claim that wind and solar are more dangerous than nuclear?

      I looked myself and from what I saw Solar and wind were safer than nuclear, not to mention cheaper and cleaner.

          Even according to your source (which is really biased, by the way), renewables are just as safe as nuclear.

          Why should be waste money on expensive, dirty nuclear power when we can get double the return on investment with much cleaner renewables?

          There is no sensible reason to mine limited uranium unless you want us to continue to be dependent on exploitative, extractive industries?
