You wouldn't get more for your money elsewhere. Energy returned on Investment for nuclear is high.

More bullshit from you.

Cause solar is going to have a high capacity factor in Canada. \s And yes I want a nuclear power plant in my backyard.

Climate change, air pollution, and energy poverty. Having a reliable grid is a good reason in itself.

We also pay people not to grow food. It reminds me of this quote -

Conservatives are often the biggest hypocrite.

Hydro is location-dependent and environmentally destructive. It cannot scale to meet the world's energy needs. Atoms before dams. Also no one has deep decarbonized their grid with just solar and wind.

12 hours is how much you need to get through a windless night. So I am calling bullshit on 5 hours of storage. The model also requires mathane peakers. The model claimed to include transmission costs into the final costs, but that's bs. Since solar/wind is much more widespread, a high-adoption rates increases transmission costs significantly. Just the increase in copper wires and transformers would push it past his estuimates. There was nothing about mantaining grid momentum or frequency.

Australia is dirty as all fuck. Even South Australia, with a low population and renewables, is dirty. Coal and methane overcome the intermittency of solar and wind. The rest of Australia relies on coal.

Grid storage is extremely expensive. Also slower than building a nuclear baseload. For a solar and wind grid we would need at least 12 hours of storage. That's not going to happen. With a solar, wind and nuclear grid we will need significantly less.

Most nations aren't responsible for the majority of fossil fuel pollutions.

And the banker class is what is fucking over new nuclear in the rest of the world as well. 2/3 of the cost of recent builds is interest. That's a solvable problem.

If we really want to phase out fossil fuels we need nuclear energy. Building only solar and wind guarantees a place on the grid for fossil fuels.

I saw Project Hail Mary at smaller movie theater chain. 3 trailers and then the movie started. It was great.

And left with a brand new gun!

How much storage/batteries would we need? Way more than we can build. And the wind does stop blowing. It occurs so often the Germans gave it a name --Dunkelflaute.

They can produce Ammonia which can power ICE vehicles. They can also power EV's.

Still can't admit that you are wrong!? Europe could have invested 1000x more in solar/wind and the nuclear withdrawal would still have been a mistake. You still do not understand intermittency do you? DF
