33. Right... because nobody would be dense enough...
Edited on Fri Dec-09-11 12:31 PM by FBaggins
...to claim that nuclear was having a good year because of the number of dollars spent on it.

Is the SC nuclear plant better/worse than the GA plant under construction because one is expected to cost $10 billion and the other is expected to cost $14 billion? Both have a pair of essentially identical units. Are they both better than the virtually identical units being built in China because they're more expensive?

The point of my post was not anti-renewables. I'm pro renewables... pro LOTS of renewables (even where they're "too expensive").

I'm just anti-dumb-arguments. And "renewables tops fossil" is just such an argument when the supporting data is that we spent more on one than the other in a particular year.
