As long as you rely on the fallacy that nuclear is cheap to operate any initial costs can be handwaved away. Today renewables are cheaper than the marginal cost of nuclear, steam turbines and all machinery around them is simply that complex

Operation is cheaper, but it is not cheap. The steam based thermodynamic cycle is very expensive compared to CCGT and even worse compared to gearbox into generator for wind power and solid state for solar. In this graph you have the margina

Or just renewables with storage? Why must the alternative always be fossil fuels?

Wind and solar don't anymore. They are completely self sustaining industries. In New York for example there was a bidding war to get the rights to develop off shore power. > After three days and 64 rounds of bidding, the U.S. Depart

Why not put it into long-term storage for emergencies based on hydrogen instead? Why this fixation on nuclear as the one true savior? Today you can use solar to produce hydrogen which you then burn and still economically come out ahead of n

Look no further than South Australia with a 65.7% renewable utilization for the 2021. Sure you can shift the goal posts to include total energy usage instead of simply electricity, but that also makes it easier since now you have a whole lo

Doesn't that make renewables the optimal solution? Recyclable, no pollution to speak of when generating electricity and no radiological risks.

The current issue is really to prevent rebuilding of entire compilation units. Incremental compilation helps somewhat but I haven't found it to be good enough when the size increases. My gut feeling is that it comes from linear or n^2
