Oh, sure, I understand they aren't currently making money right now.
I'm just saying neither is nuclear. Not without subsidies. Let's be real about subsides, nobody gets more subsidies than gas and oil production and that doesn't even include the sweetheart deals they get for leases on government land. That would be OUR land. I'd like to get a better deal from them for my share. Now, everybody can manipulate their bookkeeping, I understand that, but there is a strong case that can be made for nuclear being the MOST expensive way to generate electricity.
I'm not opposed to ANY of it. My position is, I'm in favor of ALL of it. In fact, that's where I don't understand the anti solar and anti wind argument. I appreciate the fossil argument and I appreciate the nuclear argument, I just don't get why someone would be opposed to 'green' energy. The more it is used the cheaper it will become. When we first started building nuclear power plants the cost was unbelievably high. In today's dollar WAY more than wind or solar. But the (mostly unfulfilled) promise was that it would be cheap, clean energy when we had more plants online. That's where we are with new energy sources right now.
