This is a (slightly older) article about Nuclear Energy and climate change. It’s a hottly debated topic in climate communities, so I thought some of you would enjoy to read it.
Another article that brings up some more points against nuclear power can be found here.
I’d be interested what you ppl think of the matter.
Wind turbines and solar power is something that produces enough energy. The thing is that it needs to be set up and brought into the system. Most Windparks for examples aren’t hooked up to the network.

The average wind speed over all of North America or all of Africa etc. is quite constant year round.

USA, for example: https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/images/2015.02.25/chart2.png
Generating fluctuates between 20something and 30something % of the maximum installed capacity. The larger the area, the more the curve flattens.

Days without (enough) wind across the entire continent? Have you got any sources that show that this has ever happened?

It’s not only wind, you know? There’s solar, there’s storage, and better grid management and integration.
