Is it 2015? You can buy 10x as much solar+battery as nuclear these days. Nuclear is simply too complex and dangerous to compete.

You can buy 10x as much solar+battery as nuclear these days. Nuclear is simply too complex and dangerous to compete.
- Chilko 2y agoYeah when it comes to these discussions, I think most people are unaware just how much the cost of solar & BESS (at the large scale) has fallen in the past couple years.
- applied_heat 2y agoThe battery installed along solar farms is usually on the order of hours of energy delivery though. Like 5 hours. It’s fine, but not everyone will be able to ornaffors to buy electricity on when it is cloudy and still for a few days.
- Paradigma11 2y agoBattery capacity for how long? You are talking about a statistical value not a deterministic one. So it is solar+battery which is sufficient for n% of typical years.
