Okay, I misunderstood your position on it. I am still not for nuclear power. LOL.

It's not so much that nuke doesn't produce, it's what happens when and if there is a real catastrophic accident. The damage will be so great that it will heavily outweigh whatever benefits were derived from it. If a NG, coal fired, or oil fired plant blows up, in 6 months it will be back on line, damage isolated to the plant itself. Not true with nuke powered.

Solar power didn't have as much money spent on it, so naturally it isn't at the point where it might be. We'll never know how far along it might have been had they spent a trillion or so dollars trying to find a way to make it efficient.
