The world isn’t building nuclear power. It’s simply too slow to build and expensive to be relevant.

That is legacy coal plants. The ones China are building are specifically built to complement renewable while keeping the energy security domestic.

> The argument I am making is that the competition ceases to be interesting because the US doesn't get to field its best squad on account of a highly controversial on-field decisio…

Which is a metric having one source throughout all weather, coupled with 2018 battery storage as per the study showcased in the blog. Not sure what the relevancy is. Here, a modern…

Ignoring that the last time Ontario attempted to build nuclear power the utility went into bankruptcy forcing the public to take on an absolutely enormous stranded debt.

You mean like this Australian coal plant forced to become a peaker or be decomissioned? https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-10-13/australian-coal-plant... Yes. That is the issue. How …

I love that you now deflect to off-shore wind subsidies. Not daring to face onshore wind, solar or storage. Followed by again complaining about 2010 solar being expensie. To absolu…

And what happens to a nuclear plant that is essentially only fixed costs when their capacity factor craters due to renewable competition? Followed by attacking the author rather th…

Exactly? We are removing renewable subsidies all over the world because they aren't needed anymore? In Germany the recent solar renewable subsidies are lower than market price for …

In Israel or the ”lebensraum” in Southern Lebanon?

You do realize that nuclear power and renewables fundamentally compete for the same slice of the market: The cheapest and most inflexible. Due to renewables having zero fuel cost t…

Ahhh. The magical, ”just restart”, handwaving away all issues. You do realize that the nuclear lobby group found the easiest reactors to restart were in the north? Which is already…

Why are you unable to look forward? I see a wall of text complaining about the past. Again. Are you suggesting that Germany would be better off by keeping their current emissions u…

No. It is trying to reframe the cost question in a way that laymen don’t understand. For anyone understanding economics it’s an admission of how far you need to twist the numbers t…

You do realize that trying to smear the costs across almost 100 years is an admission in how horrifyingly expensive new built nuclear power is? And you do realize that across such …

Always the laser focus on Germany. Are you suggesting that Germany would be better off by keeping their current emissions until the mid ~2040s waiting for horrifyingly expensive ne…

Always the false comparisons. Please do tell me the expected capacity factor of these biomass plants, even if 18 cents per kWh is correct, after renewables, storage, hydro if avail…

Why are you this entire time avoiding official sources? Is it because you know the narrative you push is revionist history? https://www.auditor.on.ca/en/content/annualreports/arrep…

That’s an extremely rosy picture not aligned with reality. You can’t compare it with a house mortgage. They had X in earning potential in a set time frame. The debt accumulated was…

It was a government owned utility, it couldn’t go bankrupt in the traditional sense since it has taxpayer backing. But its finances were completely underwater with no way out due t…

Last time Ontario built CANDU’s the utility went into bankruptcy and the taxpayers still haven’t paid off that debt.

Mythical Gen IV reactors? Without even existing prototypes?

Well. It is not cheap. Each new built large scale reactor needs tens of billions in subsidies. Money which could have multiple times larger effect, in a fraction of the time, if in…

And now France target 2038 at the earliest for the first reactor in the EPR2 fleet. With a 11 cent per kWh CFD and interest free loans, summing to over 20 cents per kWh. It is easy…

Now Ontario wants to double the electricity bills to finance its nuclear refurbs and new builds. https://reneweconomy.com.au/ontario-utility-wants-to-double-...
