If this is ever deemed feasible the world will already run on renewables. There might have been a time for NPPs but 2024 ain’t it.
This is happening, to a degree, in most of Europe. Storage is the answer as described in the article. Unfortunately politics are not proactive, you need to break the system before something happens… and now the system is broken, yeah!!!
Put as much money into the research of SMRs as you would like to waste. Meanwhile we just build a cheaper, better and more reliable system based on renewables.
This will happen with or without the nukebro hypetrain.
Unfortunately capacity is the first step, but its a step. I’ll crack open a beer when it’s consumption or production…
I am pretty sure the EU will soon reach the final phase of the electricity transition. Soon it will be more about balancing the grid with storage and upgrading the electricity network and no longer about build out rates of solar and Wind.
What a giant waste of resources.
“Enlightened” centrism is not the answer…
How I hate this fucking strawman is indescribable. If we ban private jets you are still not gonna stop polluting the planet for no reason.
I don’t agree with you but either way that doesn’t change the fact that nuclear is just slow, expensive and a bad idea in 2024.
