One doesn't even need to appeal to an article by a dumb journalist to do direct calculation.

Of course, one would need to be able to do math, and understand that the capacity utilization of a solar plant is about 20%, whereas a nuclear plant runs greater than 90% reliability.
In, um, economics, capacity utilization
matters which is why the solar energy scam always announces capacity in
peak "watts" rather than in units of
energy.
Economics, of course, accounts for the fact that nuclear power produces more energy than all of the renewable energy programs combined, at least if one can understand - as many fundie anti-nukes
still can't, that
http://www.eia.doe.gov/cneaf/alternate/page/renew_energy_consump/table1.html">um, 8.455 is actully greater than 0.091.
Given that the solar industry has experience 50 years of unrestrainged cheering - mostly of course from people who cannot appreciate either the contents of a math book or a science book - and nuclear power has been routinely vilified by the same damn airheads, it is difficult to understand why nuclear power is, um, 92 times better at producing energy.
What I can gather is that the anti-nukes are here to announce, with their usual sense of reality, that what was routinely accomplished in the 1960's is now impossible.
No surprise there, of course.
I wonder what you have to smoke to become an anti-nuke. Never mind, I really don't want to know.
