Hard disagree, the primary limitation is availability of energy. There is no path to 100% solar + wind + storage without mass deindustrialization.
Nuclear would stop being expensive if it was committed to. Building 1 bespoke plant avery few decades is not a good approach.
- gpm 3y agoThe article is literally about showing that there is in fact enough solar and wind energy available to fulfill expected (not artificially constrained or "deindustrialized") demand.
- WillPostForFood 3y agoThe article doesn't have a plan for storage, and relies on a plurality of energy from floating offshore wind, which has never been relied on at any scale. There are 4 windfarms in the world generating just 193MW. You are going to bet humanity on that? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_wind_turbine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_wind_turbine
