    A similar take from David Toke:

    Though we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that weather in the lifespan of nuclear reactors is very likely to become more episodic with harsher extremes, and strong buildings may be more resistant to this than scores of wind turbines; large scale solar and hydro (catastrophic landslides notwithstanding I suppose) would be less affected I assume.

    That is a good article from David Toke.

    Not sure I understand how a single strong building generating "all the electricity" would be less vulnerable to climate damage than a distributed system of generation though.

    A unique and high-impact point of failure surely much worse than a diverse and spread-out system.

    Or are we planning to build the nukes underground and away from the sea now, as well? The sea of course being vital for cooling
