How is that relevant in this context, though? Why is it bad faith when we're talking about grid-supplied electricity generation? We need electricity generation, and most of France's is nuclear. It seems uncontroversial.
- pfdietz 3y agoIt's because the "if it hasn't been done, it can't be done" argument applies to nuclear displacing fossil fuels. Remember, the decarbonization goal has to be all uses of fossil fuels, not just their use for the grid.
- robertlagrant 3y agoI honestly think we have crossed wires. I don't think anyone here is saying things can't be done based on history.
- pfdietz 3y agoI have repeatedly and literally seen this argument applied to renewables. I've even seen it on HN.
