Nuclear/shale oil hybrid system recommended for AGW solution by MIT Nuclear Science Dept

4. Talk about comparing apples and oranges!!!

First, the use of solar by these facilities isn't being used as a justification for solar by anyone. No one is claiming we "need" solar because it makes extracting tar unconventional oil more cost effective.

Second, is the nature of the investments required. You can install solar for as little as $2 and in any amount desired after that up to billions of dollars. Walking away from the level of solar investment is easy for an operation such as is being discussed. Nuclear, on the other hand, requires a mammoth commitment of resources and would consequently work to 'lock in' its profit stream from the oil no matter the external consequences.

You really should stop trying to protect the nuclear industry. If your primary concern is climate change, the evidence is unequivocal that spending on nuclear power is counter-productive to our decarbonizing effort.
