The criticism is extraordinarily simple and justified.
Which is better, Renewables and Nuclear or Renewables and Fossil Fuels?
Germany could have had an almost entirely fossil free grid by now, but instead they chose renewables & fossil fuels.
New archetypes of NP can run on depleted fuel. There’s enough of that around for more than 50yrs of power.
Does manual license allow driving automatics? Where I live there are auto licences, which can only drive autos, and “regular” onees
Yes I can, Sweden, born in the 00’s and my car is a 90s manual.
Great that the plan is for the entire economy. Cheap and reliable clean electricity is possibly the most important and straightforward(ish) issue to solve with steel and concrete sitting at the opposite end of the spectrum.
Energy or electricity? Those are two very different things.
Yeah, I’m tempted to say “RIOTS AND PITCHFORKS!”, but let’s be real, I can’t torrent coffee.
There’s a special sort of beauty to the road that India had to independence. Being mostly peaceful, and securing a democratic constitution for one of the largest nations on earth.
If the people of India can maintain their democratic institutions, they may perhaps surpass the US as the most influential free nation on the planet during the 21st century.
100% this. I’m glad it’s working for them. Rubbish bins have been disappearing here in Sweden too, and not just on nature trails. Unfortunately, many new residents don’t have the same strict attitude against littering. Now I see plastic and paper bags flying across the fields in the wind and plenty of other litter around in the streets. It’s strange how much these things can change in just a few years.
and this is a short intro to why a (60%/40%) split between renewables and nuclear may be the most accessible fossil free solution, and why the value of adding more variable renewables to a grid falls sharply the closer you get to 100%.
