It's interesting that we are now at the stage were people demand real life examples of economies having completely transitioned to renewables. The are no real-life examples for economies being 100% nuclear and nuclear power plants have been build for 70 years (receiving large subsidies the whole time), so why are you demanding from a technology 20years old what the much older tech has not achieved? It's not like electricity grids can be changed overnight.
- p_l 4y agoThe core difference is that Nuclear Power Plants are dispatchable sources - they fit existing models, they do not require drastic changes in the grid to ensure stability like intermittent sources do.
