Proponents of renewables fail to take into account the need for baseload. It’s nowhere near being cheaper when you take into account the over provisioning and storage costs required to actually compete with the reliability of nuclear (and coal/gas).

The planet doesn't care about intermittency. It only cares about total emissions.

But the people do and they are in charge of what we adopt. Choosing renewables and poo-pooing nuclear is choosing fossil fuels for base load. It’s that simple.
