A couple of criticisms

1) He virtually ignores the renewable source that accounts for over 90% of renewable energy, hydroelectric power.

2) He points out that photovoltaic energy and wind energy can't get more efficient because there is a maximum amount of energy at a certain point. However this point has not nearly been reached, with current pholtovoltaic cells only about 25% efficient.

 

But yes, nuclear power certainly will have a place in the future. Probably best for countries with large populations that aren't likely to be hit by natural disasters.

 

@Kasz. Also this article is not about why renewables aren't feasible - that's just false. It's about why converting the entire world to purely renewable power within twenty years isn't feasible. Renewable energy itself is feasible and often cost effective.
