I’m all for keeping existing nuclear infrastructure but building new nuclear is mad.
Or convert excess to hydrogen and provide resilience, or have arrangements for industry to consume the excess. Or ramp down your generation at those times. Or shift excess to neighbouring grids.
“demonstrated”
South Australia implemented a 100mw battery for their power system in 2016
I know. There are many solutions to this
Are you proposing that the sun may not shine and the wind not blow anywhere at all for months?
What? You don’t have Google? Options I know of (other than batteries and pumped hydro) : Compressed Air Energy Storage, Thermal Energy Storage, Fly wheels, Hydrogen, Supercapacitors, Gravitational Storage
Wind is always blowing somewhere
No, you’re right. It’s not an option for everyone. Which is why I mentioned that there are many other solutions which are similar and over production which is simpler and cheaper
Pumped hydro? Or one of the many other non battery storage options, or just over production
Curious to hear you say this. I live in NZ and cyanide waste is always raised as an objection to gold mining.
Like every other nuclear power plant ever built
The wind is always blowing somewhere and overproduction is cheaper than batteries
Has this been demonstrated to last as long as the waste is radioactive?
Overproduction is cheaper than batteries
Yeah that really convinces me. I’m stupid so ill switch to your point of view
Nah renewables are the best we’ve got
Literally anyone else is looking mighty good right now
