So educate me, if you can. Your comment contributed nothing of value.

Go right ahead.

Show your math.

It’s base load, not base line and we don’t have to have it.

over-build renewables, thereby making it extremely costly

Compared to nuclear? Go check out the cost and schedule overruns for Hinkley C and then talk to me about cost. $40 billion and counting so far.

Is your contention that a combination of all the methods I listed is insufficient for a renewable future that doesn’t include nuclear?

Batteries of all kinds, compressed air, green hydrogen, pumped storage, flywheels, etc.

That account is all over the place.

They don’t work well together. Nuclear needs to operate at as close to 100% uptime as possible, otherwise it isn’t financially viable. What happens when it’s very windy and sunny and renewables are creating more power than we need? You can’t just run nuclear to cover the peaks in demand, it doesn’t work that way.

Only a fool would advocate for paying way more for nuclear when renewables + storage are substantially cheaper.

Unfortunately, renewables cannot do it alone

They absolutely can when paired with storage. Nuclear is not needed.

I did, and got further than with the other guides but I couldn’t get the Lemmy page to load and the log was complaining about certificate issues.
