"Ok sac, solar panels would have to cover millions of acres

"Ok sac, solar panels would have to cover millions of acres to generate enough power to meet our needs". - solar alone is not a proposed solution.

"They don't generate power at night or on cloudy days. " - That's why we have battery storage facilities.

"Their production requires environmentally destructive mining and manufacturing processes." - yes, but that is still far less than oil and coal production. This is an easily verified fact that I've cited numerous times.

"They have a relatively short economic life and are often replaced after 10 years or so with newer panels." - Not true. not at all. "The estimated operational lifespan of a PV module is about 30-35 years, although some may produce power much longer." https://www.energy.gov/eere/solar/end-life-management-solar-photovoltaics#:~:text=The%20estimated%20operational%20lifespan%20of,may%20produce%20power%20much%20longer.

"Their productivity drops to the point they are no longer useful after 20 years or so." - Wrong again. See quote/cite above.

"There is no economically viable way to recycle dead solar panels and they pose a massive disposal problem. " - No, wrong again. Read the above article and many others like it. The tech is developing quickly, even if it's not perfect now.

"Now, can you explain how a wildfire could penetrate the containment vessels at San onofre or Diablo canyon?" - Lol... you are really hung up on that, huh? You lie constantly about energy production and you still don't understand how a fire in a nuclear plant could be a problem? Sure, it's a pretty low risk, but you're missing the point here. Nuclear plants can be devastating to the environment and the humans in and around them. Putting them in a place prone to multiple natural disasters doesn't seem like a good idea.

I'd worry less about me thinking fires pose a risk and more about where you're getting your "facts" about renewable energy. Wherever it is, they're always almost 100% wrong.
