I think that it still does have a solid viable place. It makes the most sense for base load, as well as night time load (which is mostly the same as base load)

- jacobush 10y agoWhile I agree with you for the technical merits of nuclear, I think nuclear has lost for several reasons. One of them, a cultural shift towards decentralization. It is possible now, to build decentralized power grids with lots of local storage and real-time tariff changes on a micro level. This was not just possible before.
