Whether or not that's the case, the problem is that if you put together all the nuclear, solar, wind and hydro we can manage, we will still have less energy than what we get easily with oil.

I don't get why they even compete against each other: we need as much as we can of everything that we can.

You can only spend a dollar once, so any money going into nuclear won't go into solar, wind, or hydro - which have far better payoff when it comes to reducing CO2 emissions.

And in terms of sovereignty? Most solar panels come from China, don't they?
