Not economically. EDF is already crying about renewables cratering the earning potential and increasing maintenance costs for the existing french nuclear fleet. Let alone the horrifyingly expensive new builds. And that is France which has b

Even with Danish insulation and weather and tilting the study heavily towards nuclear power by assuming that the nuclear costs are 40% lower than Flamanville 3 and 70% lower than Hinkley Point C while modeling solar as 20% more expensive r

Or you know, just build renewables and storage. Displace vastly more coal faster with a death per kWh where the only injuries comes from traditional construction and mechanical industry work. No need for any special casing.

I don’t see the difference with nuclear power? Take California, a yearly baseload of 15 GW and peak load of 52 GW. What problem is even a ”baseload” of nuclear power solving? But we should of course keep our existing fleet around as long as

Which are extremely simplified metrics. Like the LFSCOE study is only using one source of renewables through all weather together with 2020 data on battery costs. Which is why I linked a recent full system analysis. With Danish data so a va

Did we have rolling blackouts from electricity shortages during the energy crisis? No. Was the electricity extremely expensive? Yes. Reliable electricity has a certain worth. And that is vastly lower than what nuclear power needs when runni

That is not the case. Grid modelers always land on renewables being cheaper. Except for the cases when the studies start with "assuming cheap and fast to build nuclear power". https://www.pv-magazine.com/2026/

At a cost which could generate ~10 billion watts of very low CO2 electricity for decades if invested in renewables. Also remember that large parts of a nuclear plant is replaced over its operational life. Control systems, steam generators,

Where does this "need for baseload" energy come from? Baseload is a demand side concern. It can be fulfilled by any number of sources and we already have grids operating with zero baseload. The grids have dispatchable power. But t

Everything is "simple" with hindsight in mind. After SL-1 we realized that that we needed to allow a reactor to fully shut down even with the most important control rod stuck in a fully withdrawn position. https://en.wi

None of this addresses the points made. It is talking around the subject by trying to shift the focus or narrow the perspective. The cleanup bill is real. The inability to get insurance is real. The precautionary evacuation of entire cities

It is a complex system. There is no single cause. There's a multitude of causes. The root cause tree with its multiple roots on page 23 is a good start.

The energy system has investment cycles counted in decades. Looking at TWh of renewables added each year we will have grids entirely dominated by them in 10-15 years. That is lightning speed for the energy system, and we’re still speeding u

Depends on the impact? CVE scores are known to be a worthless metric when looking at the actual impact. Linux now labels every single bug as a CVE.

Which is why it is an agent with the possibility to grep the repo, list files, say a scratch pad for experiments and so on? The file is just the entry point. Everything about LLMs today are just context management.

What's the problem of walking the entire repo having one file at a time be the entry point for the context of an agent with tools available to run the code and poke around in the repo?

Which is why we have ancillary markets. For all parts of the grid that the energy only market does not solve well enough, but we as a society deem necessary to solve. When these edge cases are found, if they even exist, design a technology

You are. As evident by all your ramblings, desperately clinging to outdated talking points. All you know is that half a century old nuclear power works acceptably. Built in an entirely different economic era. What we also know is that forci

I just read enough of it to verify its accuracy as to the point I was making. It also verifies that the US has required non-synchronous plants to manage this for the past decade. And for that matter, I just picked the US because it is well

Love it. Keep ducking. Why are you so afraid? You still haven't pointed out a single falsehood. Then you go link a seminar from unknown people in French as your source. But I get it. You Frenchies truly are in the shit. The new Greece

I have read all the sources I linked. Well, to be perfectly honest, for the ENTSO-E final report I read the summary and the relevant sections and for the actual FERC regulation, rather than the news posts I used to find the true root source

Like I told you. A culture war issue without broader political backing, with the company putting final investment decision at such a timing in terms of election cycles as to ensure that broad political backing is there, or it won’t happen.

You do realize that it’s quite telling that you still haven’t been able to point out a single of these ”falsehoods” nor been able to provide any factual information of your own? Why are you so afraid of renewables and storage?

Please go ahead and tell me where I am wrong, give us some sources. Be my guest.

Sweden isn't investing in nuclear power. The current right wing government is creating a culture war issue while not wanting to accept the costs, nor creating a deal that will survive through elections by creating a more comprehensive
