We don’t really have that time. Solar and wind can be built out faster. But we should do new nuclear on the margins and preserve/enhance existing nuclear.
Battery-electric (and liquid hydrogen) for container ships works. If someone really tried.
- draugadrotten 5y ago> Solar and wind can be built out faster The sheer number of wind power plants that is required to replace a single nuclear reactor has significant impact on nature, wild birds and more. One wind power plant isn't much but what happens to wildlife when you need to place 2000 of them? For one reactor, that is. https://www.ans.org/news/article-933/wind-nuclear-infographic/ https://www.ans.org/news/article-933/wind-nuclear-infographi...
- Robotbeat 5y agoYeah, you need a lot, but the impact isn’t great if you take appropriate precautions. Also, solar photovoltaic doesn’t have that problem. Again, I’m actually very pro-nuclear but I don’t think we should put all our eggs in the nuclear basket.
