    Right so if you’re moving off of coal, the cheaper and better option (renewables) is the right move.

      Not really, not right now it isn’t. If you want to cover baseload with wind and solar you’ll need energy storage. We haven’t got a solution that scales well, yet.

        Base load isn’t really a thing. This is the problem with pro nuclear. There isn’t an understanding of the issue. Lets not talk about reaction time of fission plants.

          How do you figure that?

          This is the problem with pro nuclear. There isn’t an understanding of the issue.

          Is this an attempt at insult? If you believe that I have misunderstood something, then please enlighten me.

          Lets not talk about reaction time of fission plants.

          Agreed, let’s leave that out of the equation, as then the only viable backup to solar and vind, using current technology, is burning stuff.

      Renewables aren’t baseline power, they’re just unfit for purpose if not combined with nuclear or coal; all anti nuclear movements do is ensure the latter is used.
