Greenpeace has always been kooky when it comes to nuclear. Nuclear is quite literally safer to install and operate than solar for the same capacity.
Renewables can’t be done now, or it would already be done. Yes it is cheaper to install 1 MW of solar than 1 MW of nuclear. So, if you don’t think about it at all, it would be a financial no brainer to go solar. However, nuclear is always there. This is what I was saying when I was talking about the cost of grid stability and how storage technology is almost there. But we’re not there yet. This is why when Germany closed it’s nuclear plants they went back to fucking coal. Because, right now, you cannot build a grid on 100% solar and wind that runs 24/7/365. Some countries have done it for a few days on particularly windy stretches. Maybe in 10 years. Maybe in 5. But do we have that time? I’m not saying we should open new plants - clearly it’s too late for that to be a climate solution - but we absolutely should not fucking close existing ones and switch to coal to bridge the gap.
And I’m not against renewables. Nuclear can load-follow to a point, but it’s much better on the plants if they don’t. And even if they do, renewables and storage can supplement the higher order fluctuations of the grid. You need much less storage that way.
Yea lets trust the French government and its owners.

No
Renewables can’t be done now, or it would already be done.
No, it is not being done because we don’t have a planned economy.

Again 70 countries have more than half in renewables.
Seems Denmark can do it.
What we don’t have time for is pipedreams about clean uranium.

No build renewables. If you need stability do kinetic energy storage.
And since nuclear doesn’t even work year round in say France due to climate change , seems like bad bet
“Although official figures are to the contrary.”
