Two's a crowd: Nuclear and renewables don't mix

• dane-pgp 6y ago
  "The researchers, using World Bank and International Energy Agency data covering 1990-2014, found that nuclear and renewables tend to exhibit lock-ins and path dependencies that crowd each other out, identifying a number of ways in which a combined nuclear and renewable energy mix is incompatible." It would have been preferable to look at a slightly wider or later window, e.g. 1995-2019, as renewables (and batteries) seem to decrease in price with each year, and the Fukushima disaster was in 2011, which probably casts a shadow over the final years of that range.
