Because that's the transition power that has the math and history to back it. Its window is closing though. It would have made a ton of sense in the 80s or 90s

Because that's the transition power that has the math and history to back it. Its window is closing though. It would have made a ton of sense in the 80s or 90s but the antinuclear have won: we stayed 40 more years in the fuel economy until renewables matured enough to be a credible alternative.
We are not there yet though: intermittence (and to some extent construction speed) still favor nuclear power but maybe not for that long.
- datavirtue 7y agoYour pipe dreams Are the actual issue. There is a gaberal uninformed handwavibh going on among the leity that thinks we can power everything with wind and solar. All the while we have had safe nuclear power systems for decades that cannot get built because of your hand waving and FUD.
