Not unreasonable given that renewable capacity is already growing at breakneck speed. For example, Germany upped its use of coal recently as natural gas became less available after shutting down nuclear plants before their designed end of life. With regulators looking to tip the scales against non-renewables for emissions reasons, there is a huge push on to rehabilitate nuclear as a pragmatic solution to the forecast storage and base load issues over the next 50 (ish) years while we build out renewables. Proponents say modern nuclear reactors are net-better than coal and opponents point to the tail risk. Personally, I am pro nuclear but I certainly see the opposing viewpoint. I think it’s a tricky issue because humans are wired for identification of harms like tigers or 3000 people suddenly dying in a catastrophe. It’s much harder to grasp tail risk harms like 5200 excess deaths from pollution and harder still to turn that into action.
