Wrong on both counts. The only wrinkle is that when the German government made electricity production from nuclear power illegal, it had to take over some of those responsibilities, for obvious reasons. It also took over the money that had

The FÖS "paper" that gets circle-cited everywhere in anti-nuclear advocacy is complete bollocks. This is obvious from even a cursory reading, but many have also done it in detail. https://kernd.de/wp-content/

Nuclear power uses around 1/10th the resources of intermittent renewables per kWh of electricity produced. So if nuclear isn't clean, renewables are downright filthy.

The Spainout was caused by having too little rotating mass in the grid that stabilizes the frequency. There was a trigger in some of the PV systems, but that wasn't the underlying cause.

> Nuclear is also extremely heavily subsidized. That is also not true. For example in Germany, nuclear production was never subsidized at all. Even Greenpeace and the Green's chief anti-nuclear Lobbyist, Jürgen Trittin, called nuc

> It's more complex, more expensive, less adjustable and more risky. None of this happens to be true. A single nuclear power plant is big and complex, but the amount of electricity it produces is so much more than renewables that th

This turns out not to be the case, and all these supposedly "externalized" costs are actually included in the price of electricity produced by nuclear reactors. For example in Switzerland, all of that still allows full production

And the CO₂ difference for electricity production, so the only part of the energy system where nuclear vs. intermittent renewable is currently applicable, is not 2:1. It is 10:1.

And even then it's not competitive. And LCOE is only a small part of the cost with intermittent renewables.

And even then it's not actually true. First, solar and wind are massively subsidized pretty much everywhere they are deployed, in addition to the indirect subsidies they get from China subsidizing production (and internal deployments).
