- pfdietz 6y agoTerrible solution. Nuclear is singularly unsuited to being a backup power source that is rarely used. The economics would be utterly absurd.
- aksss 6y agoGermany had existing nuclear capacity they shut down as an imprudent reaction the Fukushima disaster. Now they’re making up the supply gap with coal. But for new nuclear plants, you are right, that is not a role for new nuclear investment. I think nuclear has to be a fixed capacity supplier with renewables augmenting, vs the other way around.
