They should know they have options at least. Then they can make the decision for themselves.
Silliness. Your counterpoints are valid, but mostly restate my last comment with somehow even less sense. Buying solar panels from China isn’t more a national security risk than uranium from Australia? I don’t think you really have a well though out point here.
I’ll restate my own here for posterity and leave you to it. Solar from China Russia bad. Nuclear from literally anyone else good. Nuclear is safer, cheaper, and more efficient in every way at scale.
Remember, solar is untenable, poorly adopted, and is actively being pumped in price. This is as cheap as it will ever be all things equal. Nuclear has had none of those luxuries. If you think the price drop of a untenable solution is impressive, wait until you see one that really works.
Nuclear is the only energy that really solves our problems. Nothing to really be confused about there.
You’re taking solar for granted. You’re not asking the important questions. Like, what if they wont sell to us anymore, what’s the human cost of human life? Can you honestly openly hold solar as some separate high accomplishment against the genocides China and Russia are openly complicit it?
Nuclear is the only real green energy. Solar is too dependent on China and Russias lack of empathy for its citizens
Subsidies keep the farms alive in the first place. It’s simply not profitable to grow anymore. We make so much it’s too cheap to sell. Therefore the volume required and the margins are so razor thin. It’s make a profit or be bough-out by a bigger company.
All true, but categorically the problem is growing much faster than the solution. It probably always will be unless it’s stopped from the source.
Nuclear is the way to go. If we can’t manage that we never had a shot as an intelligent race to begin with.
The materials needed for solar are very toxic, and hard to remove, we also need a lot of them. We get these from places like China and Russia cheap because they don’t mind their citizens dying so much as they make a profit. That cheapness is the cornerstone to every renewable project today. If we found ourselves in a position unable to trade with China/Russia, we would have to mine it in our own borders, poison our own land, water, and citizens. America could just return to it’s own petrol fields, but other countries would face serious challenges.
Large scale solar farms have been a thing for decades. Large scale solar adoption is like wrestling with a hydra. The heads are Russia, China, and the middle east. Go nuclear, be the sun.
Solar isn’t scalable, clean, or sustainable. The only real option is nuclear. Most of the benefits to solar come from countries involved in multiple genocides, territorial expansion, and diplomatic saber-rattling. It’s a neat toy for youtubers, but it’s no real solution.
Zuck creating a safe-space for billionaire private jet owners on Meta isn’t something I ever thought I would read, but here we are.
People look at the advertising for this shit (and future tech-bro shit) and wonder, “who is this for”? Remember E.L.O.N. Exaggerated Lies Overlooked Narratives
Think of every manager and boss you’ve ever had. They don’t think, they just do. Salesmen convince them using issues that don’t exist, to sell solutions that don’t really work, to people that don’t understand how to use them. Repeat over 70 years and you have the modern American education system.
Now things are different. Money is scarce, things are getting tight. Tech-Bros have changed from a mildly infuriating strategy, to a downright abusive one. These simple minded managers think everything is under attack, and the only solution is what they already have, but heavily monetized and completely unusable.

Go to your favorite content creators and ask them to create a profile on Bluesky. If you don’t ask them, how are they supposed to know?
Just some money making drama any news site can run for clicks. Obviously this won’t make a difference in anything. Nothing about it is constructive, which definitely makes it poignant, but will never garner wider support.
