Great British Nuclear to boost UK energy security, reduce dependence on volatile fossil fuel imports and deliver government priority to grow the economy
Then do it. Fight for it. I have trouble seeing a 100% renewable solution at the moment but that doesn’t mean it can’t be. Don’t back down when people dont want generation in thier backyard or when you’re “pretty close” to 100%. We must decarbonize energy.
I believe nuclear is a way to do that and advocate for it by writing letters to my governor and lawmakers to remove the moratorium on building new nuclear facilies in the state I live: Illinois. However complete decarbonization is done, doesn’t really matter. My experience and formal training on the subject matter influences me to believe in nuclear and your a person with an equally valid opinion. Fight for what you believe.
I’m not anti-nuclear, it’s just more expensive than wind/solar/wave/hydro + storage (and hydro can be storage). Give it a few decades and V2X is going to be common and with have a large amount distributed battery. You can make money today doing V2G with a Leaf. I’m just not sure we’ll need much nuclear. I’m only against nuclear in geologically unstable places. Maybe politically unstable places… which you never know were will destablize. Lots of crazy popularlism since 2008 crash.
