Rebuilding a modern generation of modular nuclear power plants would be a good idea. Natural gas prices have just spiked in Europe because Russia is limiting supply.
Solar and Wind can work but there are big demand management problems, and there doesn't appear to be any progress on allowing or requiring EVs to charge smartly (ie. based on the prevailing electricity price, including discharging).

- fuoqi 5y ago>Natural gas prices have just spiked in Europe because Russia is limiting supply. Well, Russia simply plays by the rules Europe promoted itself. You don't want stable long term "take or pay" contracts with price tied to oil and instead you want to tie contracts to spot prices? What you ask is what you get. Don't blame others when they start to game those rules in their favor when situation is right.
