The only clean energy that's capable of producing constant power is if we put the power plants on the sun!

There may be minor technical hurdles but only nattering naysayers think they're impossible to overcome.

If we can put people on the moon, we can certainly put them on the sun.

This is, of course, satire. There is every evidence that yes, nuclear energy is a viable base load generator that would be tremendously useful for a wide variety of scenarios (as putting power plants on the sun would also be a tremendously useful technology). It's also clear that there are serious, possibly impossible to overcome technical reasons why these plants haven't really been deployed in great numbers (other than france in the 70s), and haven't been proven to be economically viable. "It would be economically viable if we focused our whole global economic output on developing the technology to make standardized, modular power plants, and then if we eliminate most regulation everywhere except where I and my kids live and go to school" is maybe true, but also probably not realistic.

Fusion power from the sun, though, has proven to be pretty economically viable.
