We need zero-emission power. Renewable+gas is a 300g/KWh CO2 affair. This isn't a solution at all. Nuclear is 12g/KWh CO2.

- Tade0 7y agoNuclear is an expensive and slow to deploy 12g/kWh, so unlikely to match incrementally added renewables by sheer opportunity cost alone. We need to reduce CO2 today. Your average nuclear plant takes 7.5 years to complete. I don't think that in current circumstances the cost of reducing emissions is lower for nuclear.
