Just take a look at the energy densities of "renewables" vs nuclear power. I wrote a paper last year comparing the output of the entire fleet of US wind turbines (onshore and offshore) to the output of the US's least productive nuclear powerplant. Over the course of a year, the powerplant produced 20% more energy, at a total cost of 90% less $, than all of US wind turbines combined. Just let those figures settle in your mind a little...
- jhayward 8y agoIf you have an example of nuclear providing power at a cost 90% below wind, which is generally the lowest cost provider in the US please supply a link and support the implied claim that this is somehow representative of the industry and not cherry-picked. As to the other claim you make, a quick look says that the R. E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant in NY is the lowest productivity (i.e., provides the fewest MWH per year) plant in the US at around 6 GWH. In Texas alone wind produced 9 GWH (2017).
