> Unlike nuclear, which is too expensive when you don't overbuild it, and becomes simply stupidly expensive if you contemplate overbuilding it. > Overbuilding nuclear is so preposterous that nuclear fans just pretend you magically don't need to, to prevent their fragile dream from being crushed by reality, and let them continue to steer at renewables and all the problems they face as every nation on earth builds then out at massive scale. Why would you need to overbuild nuclear power plants? Other than planning for future growth, but I don't think that's what people generally mean by overbuilding, it's more like avoiding "it's been cloudy/windless for a few weeks now so back to the 1800s it is."
