Nuclear capacity is expected to rise by 14% by 2030 and surge by 76% to 686 GWe by 2040, the report said
This is only good news if it displaces thermal coal and gas generating stations.

A lot of lies of wrong stuff here. The environment for example is much more damaged by renewables, because you need truckloads of space to build the wind or solar farm. China demonstrate how hydro can be damaging too. And it usually ignores the need for energy storage. Both solar and batteries need high quantities of minerals, so that’s not better than anything else here. Nuclear is arguably a lot better because of the energy density of the mined material.
Ecologists these days seem like a cult that would rather see the world burn in coal and oil than to see even one nuclear power plant built. And this based on ignorance, fear and lies. It’s sad.
The entirety of the US could be powered by solar power if they converted 10% of land which is just parking spaces to solar farming, and there would still be enough parking spaces left in the country to have seven for every car. The amount of land required for the benefits is completely inconsequential.
Meanwhile, for nuclear:
The space might be available in the US, but it’s not in Europe.
The co2 emission from nuclear is less than from renewables. That’s a hard fact.
Lithium extraction is as bad a uranium.
The quantities needed to build solar or wind are far larger than for nuclear. And need to rebuild them twice or three times more often.
You need to stop to make up fantasies about renewables.
You’re certainly doing your part. Example:
Utilizing available space for renewables is hardly damage, is it? The rest of your post isn’t much better.
Yes? Panels and batteries can be recycled. In fact, it should be mandatory.
So we build all the new panels and batteries from recycled old ones? Is that what you’re suggesting?
Don’t be so obtuse.
What are you talking about?
Just give a clear answer, lol.
Available space is free to build? That’s the least ecologist sentence I read in an ecology or energy discussion. Next you’ll tell me green fuel is renewable and green won’t you?
What the fuck are you babbling about?
