For this to actually happen, it’s going to require a major drop in the cost of nuclear power. To some extent, pushing nothing-but-nuclear has been a fossil fuel industry strategy because those high costs and long lead times mean that it’s not actually getting built.
What a gigantic waste of money and time. Nuclear is not the future.
Smart enough to understand global warming is a problem, just too stupid to understand nuclear is extremely important as a source for baseload power
Nope it’s not.
How you planning on addressing the energy storage problem for renewables once fossil fuels are in low enough use that they can’t cover the gap, and the resulting, large hike in renewable prices once that storage is needed? Because current assessments don’t include those costs right now, since fossil fuels and nuclear currently cover it
