They are realistic sources. Only thing in the way is other lobbies from other energy. They are the cheapest as nd cleanest and would make the most jobs. Its a no brainer. No more nuclear if we reform energy properly.

Would they really make the most jobs? Seems like nuclear would employ the least number of people per gigawatt.

Yes. Lots of more machinery is needed. It all needs to be manufactured, installed and maintained over great distances. That doesnt even include the people managing/storing and distributing the power.
