gollark: It's too far away to be very useful.

gollark: Consider the difficulty of having to collect then dispose of/recycle "spent" solar panels ~30 years after deployment.

gollark: One problem with solar/wind is that (like most things) they degrade over time (lithium ion batteries, which you could end up needing many of, especially fast), and would be in remote locations in huge quantities...

gollark: Nuclear also doesn't take up much land, and could be way more efficient than it already is if it was actually deployed at scale and new technologies got used.

gollark: The waste is basically a non problem compared to carbon dioxide and they run constantly.
