I believe nuclear can be cost effective. I believe nuclear can be safe. I just don't believe nuclear can be safe and cost effective. We have been trying to solve this nuclear energy problem for over 50 years and we still aren't

It is more complex, and worse than that due to heat domes. Air, when it descends, heats up. And a high pressure heat dome results in air descending, so the amount of heat is higher than the amount of solar heat input - earth heat output.

I don't see any evidence humans are smart enough to operate nuclear power safely. There are too many examples of humans not fully understanding nuclear, or just being stupid with nuclear. For example, building a nuclear power plant n

Elon Musk has start up ideas, and most start up ideas fail. Yes, he overhypes the ideas, but this is common in the start up world. The difference is he has been involved with three large successes - ebay, telsa, and spacex. This success&#

Solar panels, which we have built millions of, are on a learning curve. The more we build, the cheaper they get. Storage is still a problem, but that too can handled in a distributed manner where the learning curve can be applied. Nuclear
