I think that is a relevant point. But if solar capacity is that much cheaper you can just build much more of it and still offset thenprice.

Germany had >80% renewables for many days this year

Are you suggesting nuclear is steerable? Because afaik it is not.

I don’t see an alternative to 100% renewable + higher capacity to offset storage inefficiency. France is trying it, but it is super costly and unreliable.

Depends. Right now it isnt really that impressive. Bit questionable to build new nuclear power imho.

Just given that other power sources are so much cheaper.

Then there is also the controversy of explicit and implicit subsidies. For instance here: https://www.ucsusa.org/sites/default/files/2019-09/nuclear_subsidies_summary.pdf

a report that shows historically the subsidies were enormous. Right now it seems a bit tricky to estimate - but I haven’t read the report in detail.

Edit: sorry wanted to answer @qooqie

maybe be nicer to each other? I hoped Lemmy would be a bit more open.

The phenomenon has a Wikipedia page… whether it exists, who knows, but you can read more there: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_cliff
