And when solar stops needing massive amounts of land to produce a relatively small amount of anergy, it’ll be more viable than it is now.

First of all, nuclear energy is renewable. That’s how little you know. There are zero carbon emissions. Did you know that?
The initial investment is higher than say setting up a gas pipeline, but with nuclear you don’t need massive amounts of land to get reasonable amount of energy like with solar or wind. Hydroelectric power is great but we need a river. Geothermic is also great, but they can’t be set up if the resource isn’t there. So yes, nuclear is viable and I hope we build more, way more. Now with micro reactors almost a reality, this is the best approach we have to replace gas and oil. More than 50% of the zero-carbon energy produced in the US is due to nuclear in spite of us not having built a new power plant in decades.

Sorry but it doesn’t seem you know what you’re talking about at all.

As of now, it seems nuclear power has tons of advantages so it seems a good idea.

So what do we do in said countries like the UK? Nuclear :-p
