Wind and solar takes a lot of land. Land we could be using to grow food here in the midwest. Or, for the green people we could grow crops for adding alcohol to our fuel.

Chernobyl was a poor design with an even poorer thought out experiment run at the time of the "accident".

The only reason banks won't lend money is political. If they can get away with it, banks will lend money for the stupidest reasons. To quote one from the real estate bubble a decade ago when asked why they give real estate loans for subprime applicants: "If we don't lend the money, the bank down the street will".
