Geothermal is, imo, the only true competitor to nuclear. It's great at providing cheap, consistent, clean energy. Nuclear is really only needed for baseload generation, like when demand massively spikes.

- kulahan 1y agoThey are when the power spikes for the day, in a typically predictable fashion. I’m not sure of anything more available that isn’t really dirty.
