Maybe us pro-nukes would be a little more tolerant of #wind and #solar if their grid integration efforts and subsequent electricity market rules were not solely designed to kill off perfectly good #nuclearpower plants.
And if you think there is a level playing field out there for wind, solar and nuclear to battle it out on merit, you are smoking crack. Everything is rigged against nuclear. The political institution pushing climate mitigation often hates nuclear power.
Get out of here with your “the economics just don’t add up” horseshit. It would if we had the political will to implement effectively. But no, we have a regulatory body that kills any hopes of implementation we have. I’m tired of the victim blaming nuclear receives.
Like we are told the constant abuse the sector gets is because we are a failed technology and are bad at everything. It is partially true the industry has no backbone to stand up to the constant mistreatment. But no, we should stop apologizing for our existence.
We provide 2/3rds of the carbon-free electricity in America, goddamnit, and we demand the respect we deserve. And letting our contribution start to be dismantled without any pushback is absolutely disgusting. Letting nuclear close is an abject failure of progressives politics.
