So far there is only three sources of baseload electricity coal, some gas, nuclear and hydro.

This photo shows an animal popping its head out at sunset off the coast of Florida.

We're often told though that only coal and nuclear plants can keep the lights on, because they're 24 7, whereas wind and solar power are variable, and hence supposedly unreliable.

Yeah. I believe we don't really appreciate what we have, and I only speak for myself.

Give me some sense of the numbers of new coal fire generating plants.

Step three get rid of all the utilities gas, water, electric, nuclear...

That's more than all our transportation.

All the world's photovoltaic solar panels generate as much electricity as two coal power plants.

It is absurd to be talking about promoting nuclear power at this juncture

Should we allow the same mistake to happen again?

That's a big investment for a community.

Let's talk a little bit about how nuclear fission works.

This has to be a bridge to the point where you can get to wind, to the point where you can get to solar, to the point where you can get to nuclear and hopefully you won't build the next nuclear plant on a beautiful seashore next to an earthquake fault.

in my treasure chest, under the castle, with my pet dragon, Gus.

Power it generates heat,

While you're waiting around for your nuclear, you have to run the regular electric power grid, which is mostly coal in the United States and around the world.

Traditionally utilities build a lot of giant coal and nuclear plants and a bunch of big gas plants and maybe a little bit of efficiency renewables.

Now to charge the battery, we connect a source of electricity.

Iran is doing that right now.

Wind and solar can't help, because so far we don't have a way to store that energy.

Fire in Av Bay Two. You'll lose avionics.

That's a ton of power.

Nuclear power plants supply 20 of the nation's electricity.

But her dream of Coal River Mountain Wind is her legacy.

The next thing is What about the footprint? Stewart mentioned the footprint.

I used to worry about the 10,000 year factor.

Now you don't find several thousand targets in that area.

So what happened was that, through increased ability to use fracking technology, the calculated reserves of natural gas kind of exploded and the price plummeted, which made wind uncompetitive.

If the end game is global warming, they're doing great.

The chair? The gas chamber?

So when somebody says,

The black color shows where earthquakes occurred in the past.

And then let off silent... but lethal farts

(Music)

Nuclear power is used to generate electricity.

Wind is wonderful I love wind.

Secondly, think about this.

Plus the genny needs gas, we're almost out of propane and my back is killing me from that pieceofcrap cot.

If in the time that it took me to walk out here on this stage, some tens of megawatts of wind power stopped pouring into the grid, the difference would have to be made up from other generators immediately.

From the generates to keep Itself running.

And I think this is what we've done with climate change.

Here is an atomic power plant.

Our government is going to put in six new nuclear power stations.

Along the eastern seaboard, we're going to lead the nation in offshore wind.

The whole business is run on sustainable energy.
