No continent currently runs on nuclear power, not even a single country currently runs on nuclear power. Nuclear power is hence unproven at scale by your logic.

  France generates over 70% of it's power from nuclear energy. At it's peak it was over 80%, with the remainder fulfilled by preexisting hydroelectricity.

    France gets 70% ef its electricity from nuclear. It only gets about a third of its primary power from nuclear. Clearly, the technology can't handle the task if the country can't even run its electric grid on 100% nuclear. /s

      By comparison, the largest share of wind and solar in any country is only 43% in Denmark. Germany comes in second only 33%. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_renewable_electricity_production https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_renewable... So if 70% is insufficient to demonstrate feasibility, then solar and wind are even worse off.

        In this thread I'm making fun of the assertion that proven technology can't scale. I guess I should've added more sarcasm markers.
