Yeah, that matches my experiences here.
It's such a programmer fallacy.
We need renewables yesterday, but instead of slowly pushing what we have now and what works, the lure of the shiny highly technical and complicated solution that promises to solve everything causes us to completely miss every deadline imaginable.
We need to be finished with leaving fossils behind in 10 years, and put all our resources into that, instead of researching nuclear reactors for 30 years and then starting to deploy those for another 10.
- Krasnol 7y agoExactly.
- imtringued 7y agoThe reason why I am not a fan of nuclear power is that the proponents always point at modern reactors and say "our problems are caused by old reactors". We have no experience deploying the new generation of nuclear reactors so if we wanted to scale nuclear power to cover at least 50% of our energy needs we would end up building a huge amount of old gen nuclear power generators. When you look at the current subsidies that fossil fuels receive and redirected all of them to investment in nuclear power it's probably possible to find a good solution but if you could convince all countries to use nuclear you can also convince them to use renewables.
