It's not even close.

And that's why when people, you know, I'll talk about nuclear and they'll say, but what about the emissions associated with mining and transporting and building the reactors?

What about it?

Oh, that's good.

People do this thing called life cycle analysis.

So they look exactly into that.

Like, right.

You know, what are the emissions associated with mining, with building, with then fueling and then even decommissioning these nuclear plants?

And again, nuclear has the lowest life cycle emissions out of all energy sources because of what we talked about.

And also nuclear plants last for a very long time.

We have no reason to believe why they wouldn't last for 80 years versus something like solar and wind, solar panels and wind turbines.

They last for about 25 to 30 years and they have to be fully replaced.

And then because also they are more intermittent, you also need a lot more of them to be able to even get close to the same amount of energy.

And it's not the same profile because they don't work all the time.

Well, so let's just take a real life example, which is Diablo Canyon, which is California's current only nuclear power plant.

And that plant has two reactors.

It can power about 4 million people, I believe is the latest number.

It's not fully, but it's around 10% of the state's electricity.

So you would need 10 of those.

Right?
