Tucson Electric Power Should Dump Wind and Solar Generation of Electricity – Go Nuclear

According to the Tucson Electric Power (TEP) website, they are striving to generate 70% of their electricity production with wind and solar installations by 2035. They intend to limit generation of electricity by fossil fuels and close their coal-fired plants.

In my opinion that is a mistake because wind and solar generation are unreliable and take up large land areas. The rational is to reduce carbon dioxide emissions which is claimed to cause global warming although there is no supporting physical evidence.

I suggest that TEP build nuclear generating plants and get rid of wind and solar generation. That also will reduce carbon dioxide emissions and provide a reliable source of electricity for us.

To see why wind and solar generation is a bad idea, read my post:
