Commissioning reactors that won't come online for 10-15 years makes no sense at all, economically and practically.
- Moldoteck 4mo agoIt makes sense for Canada. Unless you love using gas for firming of course

Or because you're arguing that we'll have so many batteries, and they'll be so cheap, and they'll be so over-provisioned regarding summer/winter variance, that we won't be able to sell excess nuclear power to the states? Personally, I wouldn't make either bet, no matter what odds you give me
