I disagree about not building new nuclear. I think we should be installing way more new nuclear capacity. Existing solar installation plans only handle peak growth during the day. However baseload power will increase (eg EVs charging overnight) and batteries are just way too uneconomical and won’t be for the foreseeable future (and they reduce the efficacy of those plants because you have to overbuild peak capacity even more to recharge the batteries during the day). Nuclear remains the cheapest and we should be installing next gen designs like MSR which are even simpler, completely safe (can’t meltdown), and generate even less waste which also means they’re cheaper projects. We get more out of every nuclear dollar we spend than we do for solar and we’ve spent a metric fuckton for solar already (it’s fine- we need solar and wind, but nuclear is well past the time to have been kickstarted into high gear but it’s never too late to start)
