All this talk about renewables replacing nuclear but nothing about the non-existent large scale storage needed for the equivalent the base load nuclear provides. e.g. If wind/solar is unavailable for 8h each day, don't we need a 24 GW battery to provide the base load of a 4 GWh nuclear plant? I don't think anyone is saying nuclear is a good energy source. It's just the most viable option given the our needs - and it actually exists
