Thinking you can supply the entire world with backup power from batteries alone is a ridiculous idea. We don’t have enough storage capacity as it is
Thinking you can supply the entire world with nuclear power is a ridiculous idea. We don’t have enough nuclear power as it is
Wow genius argument.
not to mention when we want to switch the world to EVs.
You mean the things with storage that you connect to the grid, which I could sign up for with a click on my power suppliers website right now?


And you said bad, I assumed scary, because that is the basic emotion many anti-nuclear people have about it
I’m not anti nuclear
Anyway so your plan is to have nuclear running to cover a fix part of the demand (“baseload”), say 60%, and then have renewables cover, depending on weather, anywhere from nothing so the grid crashes without storage or everything by themselves so the npps are useless?
And your reasoning why we can’t put the same money into storage instead of npps is that your still-fictional-but-likely nuclear tech would be cheaper than the battery tech of today, an apples to oranges comparison, and you deliberatly ignore the still-fictional-but-likely battery tech that would make storage way cheaper?
Your whole argument is based on a fictional cost analysis.
Oh so a mile is just a kilopace you’re saying


Where did I mention you mentioning we shouldn’t also use wind and solar?
I said nuclear doesn’t complement renewables well, unlike a lot of people think who throw the word “baseload” around.
I also didn’t say “nuclear scary and bad”.
Anything but metric lol


Germany, one of the two countries mentioned


What is it with nuclear proponents and completely misunderatanding what baseload means
Renewables need the exact opposite of a baseload as a complement
SMR and MSR technologies will greatly reduce costs
might or would not will. If we go by hypotheticals, then any of the twenty promising new battery technologies “will” make battery storage so cheap that we will go with 100% renewables


Wtf are you talking about, we have only just started building out renewables


US units have all been redefined in relation to metric, so technically they use metric just with wierd factors
Ok use kilopounds then. Or milimiles!
That’s why I love bi women
Nice meme but pls croppp


I can see a lot of terminal people getting a kick out of that

Flight sims, because vr has too little resolution to read the instruments. Though putting zoom on your hotas can make vr work and then it’s obviously awesome as well
