Not arguing that solar+wind are more and more viable and economical.

But there's a weird juxtaposition here: You criticize the fact that nuclear power must be subsidized to be accomplished, but support strong social safety nets. To me, relative energy independence is a core societal goal and nuclear is a hell of a lot better than coal or oil or NG. It still requires fissile material, though.

It requires 15 years from plan to energy being produced, at best. We don’t have all that time.
