The Big Misconception About Clean Energy

We all need to be honest.  Wind and solar will not get us there.  Why?  Because both are unreliable.  We DO NOT have any technology that can back up wind and solar through the inevitable periods of rain and calm.  Claim that we do, and you're lying. The way that wind and solar are used now is by backing them up with fossil fuels.  The cost of grid-scale battery back-up would be enormous, and we don't have the natural resources to make them using current technology.  Even the latest advances in battery technology would add a factor of ~five to the cost of unreliable sources.

What can be done?  Nuclear.
