Re:Europe Is Losing Nuclear Power Just When It Needs Energy by phicoh on Tuesday February 01, 2022 @09:54AM (#30163238)
The problem we have is that in the past decade fossil fuel was way to cheap. This has now changed, but ramping up production of solar and wind takes a while.

Fossil fuels are still way too cheap compared to storage of electricity. So there are lots of ways we could store electricity. But if you can't compete with a gas powered plant next door, it is not going to be built.

At the same time, if you look at power consumption of data centers, it is amazing that so much of that can be ad supported.
