The writing is on the wall. The nuclear with its supposed "baseload" goes the way of Big Iron with its high reliability/etc. which got replaced by distributed clusters of cheap Linux boxes.
- Dylan16807 5y ago> $1.1B for 1GW That's peak power. It can only supply that for a few hours each day. And the battery can only supply 350MW for 4 hours. 5x the solar and 10x the battery and you will approach a constant 1GW of power, then add more if you don't want to be knocked out as soon as you have a bad weather day. > $20B for 10GW That's also peak power, and it doesn't say anything about a battery.
