Just because the US has a lot of area doesn't mean it should all be paved over and turned into solar farms. "Who needs nature and green spaces? It could be cheap electricity instead" is a mindset the next generation will hate us for, just like our generation resents previous generations for thinking "Why not burn coal? It's cheap electricity and there's lots of air left."

The US has a massive green space problem. It's a country of roads, parking lots, and corn fields and it's a problem that's visible from space.

Don't take this as opposing solar energy. I support it versus fossil fuels. But if nuclear is viable, I'm for it.
