And is also way cheaper and more reliable and doesn't produce trash that will be radioactive for thousands of years and doesn't make a country reliant on very unstable and/or autocratic countries to get access to the resources required for it's use

Seems like there are only positives to renewables :D

[–] PugJesus@piefed.social 7 points 2 months ago

There are some downsides. They just pale in comparison to fossil fuels and nuclear.

For example, tidal barrages and tidal power disrupting local ecosystems, wildlife deaths from windmills, geothermal agitating local land stability and releasing emissions, etc.

No perfect solutions - but there are better solutions, and renewables are definitely better than the existing alternatives. Full speed ahead.
