Solar energy will soon account for 10 percent of the world's energy generation, as nuclear power gets precipitously more expensive to build.

      I can only speak for me, but as a nuclear proponent, I’ve always liked solar power too. I’m more just annoyed by the wider misconceptions about nuclear power that have held it back for decades.

      There’s energy generation and then there’s alternator motives with energy generation.

          Most plants are designed to enrich uranium.
