Yeah, its pretty unrealistic to imagine any zero-Carbon approach which excludes nuclear. But the greens would rather cover their eye/hears about that, and imagine that it can all be done with wind and solar (in northern europe of all places).
- adrianN 4y agoHow does nuclear help with heating homes? The last time I checked we put nuclear plants far away from people, not use them for district heating.
- bally0241 4y agoEver hear of electric heating? How on earth would you expect solar or wind to be used for heating. It's far from the cheapest option currently, but you're not getting rid of fossil fuels without electric heat.
- imtringued 4y agoNorthern Europe has a lot of offshore wind capacity.
- lazide 4y agoIt’s certainly possible, just very very expensive due to capacity factors and storage. Like ‘multiples of GDP’ expensive depending on the napkin math used.
- yonaguska 4y agoIs the carbon footprint being taken into account regarding batteries, windmill blades, and solar panels? These are all very expensive consumables, with no good way to reuse or recycle. Specifically the windmill blades and solar panels.
