renewables are already out-generating nuclear in the US, and that number has doubled in the last 10 years, while nuclear power has shrunk slightly. Not exactly a ringing endorsement of nuclear's economics.
- Turing_Machine 3y ago> renewables are already out-generating nuclear in the US "Renewables" aren't suitable for base load, and the figures for "renewables" are generally presented in a deceptive way. 1 watt of solar does NOT replace 1 watt of nuclear, because there is this thing called "night". You need 2 watts, at a minimum, even with storage. More than 2 if the weather is at all cloudy.
