Maybe they understand their situation a little better than you do?
Refurbishing those ancient nukes would steal money budgeted to putting up wind turbines. The wind turbine projects are adding generating capacity at a gangbuster pace that could not be matched patching up those ramshackle old contraptions.
- theshrike79 5y agoThe better solution would've been to replace ramshackle coal plants with renewables first and then start replacing nuclear with them. Now they're replacing nuclear with coal and renewables, which seems completely bonkers.
- ncmncm 5y agoThey have already installed more renewable generating capacity (even figuring in capacity factor) than the nukes being proposed to restart. The coal plants were there already, and running already. It is disingenuous to pretend that they were started up just to fill in for the nukes.
