Environment & Energy

(29,798 posts)Can you break out of that rightwing wish list the plants that either being modernized or are being built to shut down less efficient plants?
What is the total amount of small projects that are being installed? Most distributed renewables are not on this table as they are owned by individuals or local communities.
And I'd remind you yet again that it is the same people who want nuclear that are insisting on coal. You can't get away from the link between those two energy sources. We need neither one, but the people making money off of one are also positioned to make money off of the other. Those same entities also lose money as the renewables come online. The more renewables, the fewer of these unbuilt fossil plants will be realized and the sooner the existing ones will be shut down.
Nuclear shuts none of them down.
