The 30-year itch America’s nuclear industry struggles to get off the floor

30. I've already answered that...

When you hook it all together, whether you want to accept it or not, the system behaves differently than the individual units you persist is using as models for the system.

There will be wind farms from Canada to Mexico, from the out into the Atlantic to out into the Pacific - and guess what, contrary to your narrow vision of reality, the wind does blow all the time. Solar will also be everywhere. As will geothermal, and wave/current/tidal, and large scale hydro and small scale hydro, and biomass plants and plants running on ethanol, biodiesel and bio-methane. The biggest challenge facing us isn't storage, it is modernizing the grid.

If you want to deal with climate change, then nuclear is NOT the way to go. The primary reason I'm so dedicated to identifying the false claims of the nuclear industry is because I want to do something about climate change and nuclear is a part of the problem, not a part of the solution. We have to move away from the centralized thermal grid system to one that is distributed and based on renewables. i provided you the Grist article which explains some of why the two systems are incompatible, but you chose to ignore and continue to rant about something you clearly do not understand.

If you really want to learn how this stuff works, you have to put in a little bit of effort and read some of the basic material.

Did you know that the head of the agency (FERC) charged with ensuring the reliability of our grid, Jon Wellinghoff, has said that we need never build another coal or nuclear plant?
