I don't see what that has to do with nuclear plants or solar farms. My original point was that complaining that uranium isn't evenly distributed is a red herring because you don't build power plants on top of the mines. Whereas you do have to build solar farms where the sunny days are plentiful.

And you can deliver that renewable power wherever it is needed, for a one-time up-front cost, free thereafter.

No you can't. Transmission lines have upkeep.

You have to clear brush periodically, and repair them when they break.

Most places where people live have enough sun and/or wind to meet demand.
