You're now trying to pretend that having a few reactors extended (after expensive work which costs roughly as much as replacing them) means they don't typically shut down long before planned (usually after running at a huge loss for a decade or so). It's exactly the same lie again. Paying $15/W now *and then* $30/MWh on top *and then* having an option of paying $1-2/W later isn't somehow superior to paying $2/W for an equivalent amount of power now and amortising it at $24-40/MWh and then using the 80% of money left over for storage or whatever you please. If you're worried about your solar farm 60 years in the future simply repower 15% of them every time you would refuel the nuclear plant for less money than the fuel would cost. https://heated.world/p/big-oils-favorite-way-to-lie-paltering https://heated.world/p/big-oils-favorite-way-to-lie-palterin...
