The implicit assumption seems to be that we need nuclear because solar and wind alone (with presumably cheaper batteries in the future) won't be able to supply the needed power.
It is hard to prove something like that, that future technology can't do something, but the author doesn't even try.
- jsmeaton 11y ago> There's a compelling argument that the world ought to be building many more nuclear power plants. The writer starts the article with the assumption stated explicitly. He punts on that question to discuss cost. Whether or not Nuclear is a requirement can be (and has been) discussed elsewhere. I think that's fine, because it was still an interesting article.
