Pretty sure these threads are made by oil shills. We could get our power entirely from solar, wind, or nuclear with enough energy storage, but none of them can replace our power needs without that energy storage. It makes much more sense to use all three to minimize the amount of energy that needs to be stored, at least until energy storage technology becomes cheap enough to be the more economical option. Nuclear is currently the best power source for spacecraft, and given that it's a finite resource I'd prefer if it were saved for space exploration rather than squandered because Cletus doesn't like looking at wind turbines.
