It is 100% a competition. As I mention in the end of this post >>9784259 power company are fighting for the same pool of government subsidies.

Good luck running a military to defend your country using renewable resources. You can do it with nuclear power, because it can be scaled down and the military can change to accommodate it. Those things that would need shielding can be drones instead so no one is harmed and shielding isn't needed.

Actually, nuclear power plants only take 40-60 months to be built. Japan builds them in about 46 months. Korea build them at about 56 months. China averages 68 months. Google it up, it is amazing. In a single decade we could power the entire world with nuclear if we wanted to do so.

Energy storage is one of those big massive "fuck you!"s to renewable energy. I wish that wasn't true, but power density technology seems to be stuck at the current level despite big claims for the future.

>Companies in solar are making bank
>Companies in nuclear power are declaring bankruptcy right and left

As already mentioned, they both are fighting for the same pool of government subsidies. Due to the grass roots campaigns started by wind and solar companies, as well as their lobbyists, nuclear has been loosing bids for subsidy money they were previously getting. This is a HUGE setback for the USA and civilization as a whole. In fact, it undermines civilization so much in power hungry areas that this tactic can be construed as a direct assault against the country itself. There's a chance that outside forces, enemies, of those countries are doing that very thing on purpose.
