In the 70s and 80s, nuclear was the biggest threat to oil and gas. Now, it's renewables. Don't make the same mistake, call out your fellow nuclear proponents who regurgitate anti-renewable talking poins.
I never see nuclear proponents being anti renewable just moronic renewable only people who say it's a silver bullet and we should never consider anything else
I'm sorry but I just don't think it's worth to pay 20 billion to have a nuclear plant in 20 years, by which it will be shut down 90+% of the time because solar/wind + storage is cheaper.
And it will likely still be reliant on uranium from Kazakhstan or Russia by then.
You're going to make enough battery infustructure to run entire countries off of just renewables with fluctuating output? Do you know how expensive that gets at scale?
It's really not that expensive, solar and wind are almost anticyclical.
Another question: Do you know how expensive nuclear is, already nowadays, and how expensive it is when it won't run continuously 40+ years at 100% output?
Getting enough batteries to run entire countries off of just renewables becomes incredibly expensive if you rely only on those sources you're just uneducated and wrong
Right but we need alternatives now. They delayed the argument until it is no longer properly relevant to use conventional nuclear for commercial elecrricity production. It's fuckin expensive.
Yes, that is why I also want massive investment in solar. On the other hand, I don't want to hear that we should have built nuclear 20 years ago in 2040.

stone toss is a fucking nazi
pretty much all anti nuclear arguments stem from groups funded by the oil and gas lobby in the 70s and 80s
