Who compares against fossil plants nowadays? Except wanting to put a carbon tax on them to account for that issue you mention.
Truly, it's new built nuclear compared compared to renewables, storage and long-distance distance transmission. Spatial and temporal arbitrage of energy.
- loeg 5y agoGermany is shutting down nuclear and replacing it with coal and gas. The comparison to fossil fuel is incredibly apt.
- Gwypaas 5y agoGoing by the German energy usage there's no replacement using fossil plants being done. It's all displaced by cheaper renewables, especially coal and old nuclear plants. https://www.cleanenergywire.org/sites/default/files/styles/gallery_image/public/paragraphs/images/fig2-gross-power-production-germany-1990-2020.png?itok=xVUsZl3M https://www.cleanenergywire.org/sites/default/files/styles/g...
- germandiago 5y agoThis is a silly move IMHO. The mix to go for should be clean + backup nuclear.
