Opinions on the post? Long, I know. It's about solar vs nuclear energy.

The first couple of points that he made were true, you have to factor in the night, and cloudy days, and the sun's intensity at different times, but after that he just spiraled down into garbage. A nuclear power plant produces more power yes, this is true, but I do believe that solar is the future. Nuclear is a great transitional energy source, but not a great permanent one.

Nuclear could be a permanent energy source if scientists can design an economically-viable nuclear fusion reactor. More efficient than fission, far less hazardous, and the resources for it would be in extreme abundance.

There's potential for both sources of energy, but not much reason to just simply shun Nuclear energy.

Nuclear Energy gets a horrible rep from incompetence and bad management, which is what caused Chernobyl (and I imagine Fukushima to some degree as well) in the first place.

Solar Energy is too reliant on weather conditions. It's a good source, but pales in comparison to a Nuclear Power Plant's production overall.
One relies on competent and capable people managing it, the other relies on smooth-running weather. One's a controlled variable, the other, well, unless you plan on calling Ignar the Thunder God and telling him to lighten up on the cloudy seasons, not so much.

I see no flaw in the commenting guy's reasoning.

I was the commenter :D He replied if you were interested.

Spot on, rock solid arguments. You're quite eloquent, by the way.

The other guy seems like a shallow faggot incapable of logical thought to me.
He apparently values looking good and being right higher than rational cognition.
I know that's a quite hard judgement, but that's exactly what I hate about people.

He's facebook messaging me now, it's not so much about the original topic, he's just raging and trying to fit as many insults into 1 sentence as possible.

Sounds fun.
What an idiot.
