The authors are not saying "drop pursuit of renewables in favor of nuclear"; the point they make is that (FTA) "Those energy sources cannot scale up fast enough". Certainly work on renewables should continue. The authors assume that climate change is real and a solution to reduce carbon dioxide emissions is required now in order to stem it. Again, from the article: "[Environmentalists are] cheating themselves if they keep believing this fiction that all we need is renewable energy such as wind and solar....The time has come for those who take the threat of global warming seriously to embrace the development and deployment of safer nuclear power systems" as part of efforts to build a new global energy supply."
I have been purchasing from TD for years and was so pleased with them that I bought shares in SYX. This was before Carl starting showing his ugly mug in some of the advertising. My first reaction to seeing him in the ads was "sleazeball". I hope Carl burns but that TD doesn't suffer by association.

Nuclear is not just about uranium. Look at Thorium -- a plentiful and safe alternative that is more than just theoretical.
