Reply to comment by DM_me_ur_tacos in Solar Rollout Rouses Resistance in Europe’s Countryside: Regulations meant to protect green space block the installation of solar panels despite soaring energy prices by CannoliIntoPussy

I’ve well aware. I’m happy technology from 2020 can beat reactors designed in the 50s, otherwise, we’d be fuck. You do understand solar has 20-50x the research investment, right?

It doesn't matter the reason why one is better but surely using the better option still makes sense? Of course we should be building nuclear as well because it gives a stable base production for the grid.

If you are saying nuclear could be better so we should not build solar until we have researched better nuclear...then we should wait for fusion or maybe a Dyson sphere.

Honestly I don't even think we have the time to care, maybe we shouldn't be covering these areas with panels but at this point we have left it so long we just need to start doing something.

Perfect is the enemy of good.
