Unfortunately, renewables cannot do it alone

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

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

IchNichtenLichten, 10 months ago

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.

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

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

IchNichtenLichten, 10 months ago

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.

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

That account is all over the place.

It’s pretty obvious Maguire needs to move on. I hope it’s obvious to him too.

“Just asking questions”

Politics aside, of the few times I’ve heard him speak, he doesn’t seem too smart.

Sadly elections are a popularity contest so being an already known media personality is a massive head start over someone eminently qualified and capable, but unknown. If we have to pick a media personality, I’d go with Stewbeef.

Enlightened centrists are the worst. At least you know what you’re getting with republicans.

Wilholt’s law, “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

Aka, “you’re not hurting the right people”

Sounds like libertarianism TBH.

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.

I hope we can both get this done :)
