Maybe in an ideal world, but I think it would require way more coordination and upkeep than you are giving credit for in order to do that at the scale required.

Maybe in an ideal world, but I think it would require way more coordination and upkeep than you are giving credit for in order to do that at the scale required. Way easier to maintain a couple dozen distributed nuke plants with wind and solar to handle daytime peaks and residential, personal use where appropriate.
- ncmncm 5y agoWhat matters is cost, and the cost picture is crystal-clear: Nukes are very expensive, and not getting any less so. Solar/wind/storage cost is much lower and still plummeting.
