He could be hyperdramatic, but all of this is entirely political at this point. Your average liberal thinks nuclear is bad, I've chatted with some of them, they aren't entirely sure why (waste comes up often), but it's bad, so it has to be wind and solar. If you note the issues with W&S they claim batteries will solve that.
My main point continues to be "we" simply aren't doing much more than papering all this over because there is no realistic plan because one cannot be formulated with any practality or doability. The numbers don't lie.
We're engaged in a massive fraudulent kidding ourselves exercise.
