Reply to comment by DisasterousGiraffe in IPCC chart says Solar PV and Wind Turbines are best way to achieve Deep, Rapid, and Low Cost emission cuts before 2030. by DisasterousGiraffe
They are delusional and will likely contribute more to emissions than anyone else.
Nuclear was the way. Green idiots killed it in 90s and we're now reaping results

They prob can't even complete building a nuclear plant by 2030 if they started today so article still holds true

green idiots did not kill nuclear. They were a convenient whipping boy to blame for the poor economics of nuclear power.
There has never been a profitable commercial nuclear plant. not one.
Nuclear plants were constructed to build nuclear weapons with a side benefit of making power to subsidize the production of plutonium.
Also nuclear plants can not be built fast enough to satisfy demand.
