Electric power generated from solar panels is one of the less reliable and MUCH more expensive ways to produce electricity. It would not even be economically feasible without HUGE subsidies, and once the subsidies are gone, you have an enormous pile of useless and probably unrecyclable junk that may have to be buried in a landfill somewhere.

Potential is not realized fact.

However reluctantly, the return to nuclear power is inevitable. But with the engineering and design advances in the past fifty years, it no longer has to be the uranium-fueled Light Water Reactors as the main source of nuclear power generation.

Check the literature on thorium-fueled molten salt reactors.

So, the United States Dept of Energy Secretary reads Politico to find out about red state/blue state renewable energy reports - AND IS PROUD OF IT!

Odd, I would preferred she actual got the info from her own Energy Department. Not a liberal radical website.
