10. From the charts with the article, we'll be adding more energy from renewables than fission.



Based on those charts,
fission had billions more research dollars,
but we'll be adding more energy from renewables than fission.

Renewables will add 47.1 billion kilowatt-hours more than nuclear:

renewables 2005: .9+15+15+23+38+265=356.9
renewables 2030: 7+52+23+28+102+308=520
renewables increase: 163.1

fission 2005: 780
fission 2030: 896
fission increase: 116

That's about a 15% increase in fission.
We have about 100 plants, a 15% increase is about 15 new plants.
The "nuclear rennaissance" is 15 new plants.
