Stiffler.... I do agree with your statement about the sun and wind. The thing is, the Fukashima plant would have been fine if they had built it correctly. GE called for the backup generators to be in a pit, in the ground. The initial builders wanted to position the generators well above ground because the plant was in a tsunami trough and the generators could potentially be flooded. The master builder opted to go with GE's plans. The rest is history. Most of the reactors are self-posioning now. This prevents minor incidents from causing major ones. Unfortunately, the earthquake and tsunami wer a major incident and because of the flaw in the plant design, we had a disaster. Chernobyl was built wrong too. I still think, if properly built, nuclear is a very viable option. We just need to ensure that these plants are built correctly. These plants are built by the lowest bidder and contractors cut corners. I think that is what leads to most of the causes of structural disasters. But yes, the Sun puts out more than we could ever use. The big problem is trying to capture that energy without pissing off the tree huggers. That and, if I am not mistaken, solar panels still cost more, in energy, to make than they put out.... for now.
If you're the smartest person in the room, then you're in the wrong room.
