  2. tl;dr but still interesting

    what’s missing?

    are you trying to force us to say “nuclear” ?

    Nuclear is disappearing because it is expensive, slow to build and unreliable investment:

    https://www.iea.org/reports/projected-costs-of-generating-electricity-2020

    On average that includes nuclear powerplants that paid for themselves long ago, it is still more expensive than the average of wind and solar + storage

    And the reliability of the new to be completed powerplants is again in question. And that comes from me, who loved nuclear powerplants since the childhood.

    Yes, this isn’t mantioned by you or anyone else, deleted from the focus.

    And the outages are expensive and far worse that what wind fluctuation does, whole block must go offline and consume power and manpower.

    This puts the other plants of this type into question, I mean: all the nuclear powerplants being built/finishing in Europe right now!

  5. You can deploy 0 nuclear powerplants within a year, and you can deploy 0 nuclear powerplants witin 10 years. Nuclear powerplants are not a “toolbox for urgent action”, they are decades-long loss makers until you MAYBE see any results.
