    Most are safer than nuclear, but until the environmental cost of manufacturing them is outweighed by the benefit of their use then nuclear is the least intolerable stopgap.

        Some do. Hydro is a net positive, not sure about wind but probably, but last I heard solar not so much. That may have changed since.

          I know manufacturing panels and batteries have a significant environmental cost. Being a net negative though I am not sure about. Could you link some sources?
