I swear to God you're going to kill me with an aneurysm. It's only non-existent because of dumbasses like you. Like facts I also do not give a single fuck about your feelings. We are at a tipping point. We cannot scale renewable production to the point we would need to scale it to In a short enough time for them to be a viable solution alone. Therefore we need to continue to implement renewables while also replacing the most egregious CO2 contributors such as coal fired plants with reactors.
Its nonexistent because its expensive and impractical. Every cent spent for nuclear is a wasted cent because you would get twice the power from renewables. LCOE.
Give it up man, I've had clashes with renewabots, and they are adamant that we can run the entire grid on tinker toys and batteries.
The sad part is they're not wrong they're just 80 to 100 years out of scope. The theory is there it's the capacity to produce and the inability to store that kills it. Also I know I'm not convincing him. The point of comment threads like this is for the people who are uninformed and undecided as of yet.
