- acidburnNSA 1y agoWe have 2 billion new watts of nuclear on the grid in the last few years, and more coming with uprates and massive demand from hyperscalers. The goal here isn't wind and solar. It's clean energy in general.
- muldvarp 1y ago> We have 2 billion new watts of nuclear on the grid in the last few years Because two nuclear reactors came online in the last two years (after massive delays and cost overruns). In the last 29 years the US built three new nuclear reactors (the construction of two more was cancelled). How many watts of nuclear were shut down in that time span? > and more coming with uprates and massive demand from hyperscalers I'll believe it when I see it. > The goal here isn't wind and solar. It's clean energy in general. I agree. I don't think nuclear is bad. I'm just describing what is happening in the US: Solar and wind are growing fast, nuclear is struggling.
