gollark: No AES? Then how do you use the internet? How is it related?
gollark: In summary, renewables are uncool except possibly for powering off-grid locations, nuclear is cooler.
gollark: Solar panels degrade too, actually, but IIRC those can be recycled better.
gollark: Especially compared to the bigger problems of:- giant amounts of CO2 and other air pollution from foolish fossil fuels- for solar: giant amounts of discarded solar panels which aren't usable any more- for all renewables, really: lots of dead batteries
gollark: It is *a* downside, but not a very big one.
