Hopefully next we can help fix mercury in fish, the number one contributor right now is burning coal. Seems like it would be a easy decision.

>>russdi+Jb
We could have and should have replaced all coal with nuclear but no, we couldn't do that.

>>UltraS+Iz1
It could have been replaced by almost anything, there is nothing particularly special about nuclear in this context (except its extremely high price).

>>danlit+WT1
Coal and nuclear are both dispatchable electricity sources. It is much easier to replace a dispatchable source with another dispatchable source.
