People in the USA* pretty big detail to leave out of the title, this isn't a global study.

I'm not from there but I wouldn't have any problem with such installations as long as they're done tastefully, so as to not affect the beauty of the land any more than what's essential. Renewables are the way forward after all!

I belive nuclear and some day fusion is the real way forward.

Then you have been misled. The oil and gas industries have a long history of spreading misinformation and creating doubt in order to prolong their profits.

Nuclear helps them do that because it prevents funding from going towards renewables. Anything that does that is not helping.

Nuclear could be useful in future but we need renewables NOW. Any and all funding and resources that can be used to accelerate renewable energy generation, must be directed that way. Otherwise it is detrimental, to renewables, to the environment and ultimately to all of us.

We need renewable energy now. Don't accept delays, fight for the right of humanity to have a future.

Nuclear fission is at a dead end. Long history of going overbudget and overschedule. SMRs are several years away from being proven, if they fullfill their promise at all; fission is littered with The Next Big Thing that ended up being a fart in the wind.

Fortunately, it's also unnecessary at this point. Getting to 95% solar/wind/storage is a very achievable goal compared to getting to 100%, and that would be huge.

getting to 100% nuclear would be huge too
