    In this case it's really easy. Nuclear fission is 1) not a solution. Uranium is finite and breeders don't work reliably due to fundamental design problems. 2) outrageously dangerou…

    You are correct that this is a complex problem. Nobody suggests 1) moving to 50/50 PV/Wind 2) immeadiately. It needs to be a very diverse Mix that slowly and steadily grows, making…
