Flaming the fire of the solar vs nuclear debate: Fukushima
Proponents on both sides of the fence will argue feverishly about how the benefits of their chosen energy preference are better for the environment and the economy. Fukushima put a damper on the arguments for nuclear and the solar community is coming out full force to remind everyone about it.
Case in point: this infographic by our friends at 1bog. In it, you’ll see some of key points that make their argument strong in a hypothetical format. Some may consider it unfair to look back with 20/20 hindsight and say “shouldacoulda” but one can’t help to wonder if the situation would be completely different had Japan embraced solar power earlier.

Debates between these two had their own reasons. But for me, I go to the solar. That’s my own opinion.
Now if only it were possible to throw money like that at, say, poly-well research….
