> We don't have to get carbon production to zero. If we run the gas plants even as much as 10% of the time for no-sun-no-wind-flat-batteries conditions, you've still cut 90% of carbon emissions.
And now instead of paying for the expense nuclear power plant, you have to pay:
- Pay for 3x the raw capacity of the plant in solar and wind because they never run at peak capacity
- Pay for the battery for storage
- Pay for the Gas power plant that will never be cost effective because running 10% of the time.
And you still emit more CO2 than a damn nuclear power plant.
- adev_ 4y agoAh downvoted. In front of mathematical evidence, the anti-nuclear run away and downvote ? Or you are working for the gas industry maybe ?
