Nuclear power is the only realistic climate solution. It produces far less lifetime greenhouse gases than solar, and is about the same as wind. And no, it doesn't make smoke. That's steam you see coming out of the cooling tower. And no, it's not radioactive. In fact, nuclear power produces less radioactive pollution than coal. Coal contains trace radioactive elements that go into the air when burned. 100% of all nuclear waste is contained, and a nuclear waste casket has never leaked in the entire history of nuclear power in the US. Since solar only works when the sun is shining and wind only works when the wind is blowing, it needs to rely on batteries during non-productive hours. Those batteries are full of toxic metals such as lithium and cobalt, most of the world's supply of which comes from mines that rely on forced labor in Africa. There is no forced labor in the US uranium supply chain. Speaking of uranium, a single nuclear fuel pellet produces as much energy as a ton of coal. If all of the electricity you will ever use in your lifetime were produced by nuclear power, the total amount of fuel you use would fit in a soda can. Solar panels and wind turbines also contain non-recyclable toxic materials that we have no plan to deal with once they reach the end of their lifetime, which is only about ten years. Nuclear fuel can be recycled at 95% efficiency. If all of the electricity you ever used during your lifetime was produced by nuclear power, the total amount of non-recyclable waste from your lifetime usage would fit in a shot glass. That's not an exaggeration. Solar panels also rely on polysilicon. More than 80% of the world's supply of polysilicon is controlled by three Chinese companies. If we were dependent on solar power, we would be economically at the mercy of China, the same country that owns most of those African lithium and cobalt mines that use slave labor.
