Thats a chicken/egg peoblem. If enough renewables are build the storage follows. In a perfect world goverments would incentvice storage but in an imperfect one problems have to occure before somebody does something to solve them. Anyway, according to lazard renewables + storage are still cheaper than NPPs.
Slow, expensive, riddeled with corruption, long ago surpassed by renewables. Why should we use it?
Come on, don’t be that guy…
Maybe you should read up on the topic and not just repeat baseless falsehoods.
That would be so nice…
Propagandist propagandizes.

Some critics argue that the prestige of the Prize in Economic Sciences derives in part from its association with the Nobel Prizes, an association that has often been a source of controversy. Among them is the Swedish human rights lawyer Peter Nobel, a great-grandnephew of Alfred Nobel.[40]
Nobel accuses the awarding institution of misusing his family’s name, and states that no member of the Nobel family has ever had the intention of establishing a prize in economics.[41] He explained that “Nobel despised people who cared more about profits than society’s well-being”, saying that “There is nothing to indicate that he would have wanted such a prize”, and that the association with the Nobel prizes is “a PR coup by economists to improve their reputation”.[40]
Those data centers would soon be somewhere else due to… economics. And even if not, wouldn’t be significant.
Maybe if you start heating your homes by burning car tires in your gardens. But otherwise, no. You are already so far behind the curve that economics really don’t allow CO2 emission increases on a global significant level.
The world is not just the USA…
They don’t even say that. They say emissions will peak which is en par with other institutions.
I am talking about Austria. Its mostly reusable ones made of fabric, or really sturdy plastic/wofen plastic. If you need a oneway one it’s paper. We anyway had to pay for the shoppingbags as long as I can remember.
Thanks for the answer. I was really surprised how little people complained when the shop ones stopped existing. Seems like induced demand. Back then I kept a few, because they are so handy. Well, never used one.
Sorry, fixed it.
I don’t agree with you but either way that doesn’t change the fact that nuclear is just slow, expensive and a bad idea in 2024.
There are just better/faster options…
If this is ever deemed feasible the world will already run on renewables. There might have been a time for NPPs but 2024 ain’t it.
Put as much money into the research of SMRs as you would like to waste. Meanwhile we just build a cheaper, better and more reliable system based on renewables.
This will happen with or without the nukebro hypetrain.
Unfortunately capacity is the first step, but its a step. I’ll crack open a beer when it’s consumption or production…
Yes, but energy density doesn’t matter for most applications and the waste it produces is highly problematic.
