Base load generation. Yes, we have hydro. Wind is way too unpredictable, solar is too. So, we can only have 2 powers to provide base load in Sweden. https:/

- crote 4mo agoNuclear base load is a lie. The aforementioned subsidies aren't just for the electricity it produces, it is also for the electricity it could produce. The nuclear plant has a right to sell electricity to the grid at a certain price. Market price too low? The government pays the difference. No demand? The government buys the unused production capacity. In practice this means that during periods of excess you are shutting down dirt-cheap solar and wind just so you can run a heavily-subsidized nuclear power plant. Nuclear doesn't pick up the gaps left by solar and wind, solar and wind pick up the gaps left by nuclear!
- Scroll_Swe 4mo agoOkay so we turn off all nuclear like Germany? Now what?
- Jolter 4mo agoStraw man.
- Scroll_Swe 4mo agoNice bait haha cant even reply to tghe below thanks "Nuclear base load is a lie." okay turn it off then bibba
- Jolter 4mo agoIt’s literally the definition of a straw man argument. You state a proposition that nobody proposed, because it’s easy for you to tear it down. While others are arguing about your straw man, nobody is looking at or following up on the proposals *actually* on offer. Nobody in the thread has proposed turning off all nuclear, hence you were building a straw man. Please don’t do that on HN.

- mpweiher 4mo agoGiving priority to non-reliable producers is insane.
- Arodex 4mo agoWith batteries, not only is renewable more reliable, it is also much easier to maintain grid stability.
- Scroll_Swe 4mo agoHas this been deployed in real life working, by any country?
