> Replacing our entire nuclear capacity with renewables within a single year This seems irrelevant to nuclear decommissioning (and pricing). Both can be true. More importantly, since you seem to think that renewables are a cheap replacement for existing nuclear (i think both can easily coexist), do you have any numbers that manufacturing, installing and operating brand new renewables capacity is cheaper than the old nuclear that has already been built? (where most of its cost comes from, already paid decades ago)
