another big selling point of nuclear is it’s easy to drop in at old coal plants that already have grid connections ready to go.

pretending today’s limitations are permanent is a strange way to plan tomorrow’s energy system.

how long are you willing to wait for perfect energy storage?

obviously battery tech will improve, but the point is we cannot afford to assume that problem will be solved 100%, meanwhile experiencing more and more irreversible damage to our environment. We need to put our eggs into all clean energy baskets to get off CO2 as soon as possible. Not whenever battery tech happens to be ready to handle everything.

nobody gets bonus points for glowing in the dark.

where the fuck did anybody say that?

The real bottleneck now is grids and storage.

And turns out nuclear has a few competitive advantages over solar. They are both great and serve different purposes.
