So I'm reading the September issue of NatGeo, and I see an article about solar power. The genius who wrote the article kept talking about how great solar was. No emissions! They show lots of neat pictures of solar plants, but those pictures are what reminded me of solar's greatest weakness. They take up lots of room, and are not effecient. The following picture is of two of the plants shown in NatGeo. Not the same picture, but it has the same effect:
A single nuclear power plant would produce far more energy than these two solars put together, ZERO emissions for you environmentalists, and would take up the same amount of space as one of the central buildings in the above photo. Remind me why we don't just switch to nuclear?
