Looks expensive. The grey ones are the broken ones.

        No, because they’re shitposting at best and trolling at worst. See their other comments.

        I can tell you right now whatever alternative solution they have, no one will accept.

          This is brain dead, we have plenty of green energy storage methods available. We just need a big enough green energy surplus to store.

              You know what, you’re right, we’re all fucked, there is nothing we can do, let’s gather round and jerk ourselves off about how miserable we all are until the warm embrace of the ocean washes over our heads. Thanks for helping me finally see that.

            I think they might be taking issue primarily with the “reliability”, the argument that solar is all well and good, but because generation isn’t uniform, it can’t fully replace fossil fuels. And I can see the argument for using nuclear for base-load and supplement with solar as it’s available to use.

              i know what they’re saying, but they’re objectively wrong. Sure it’s hard, it’s not the most trivial thing to do. Harder than engineering, designing, and building a CCG turbine plant from the ground up? Highly doubt it, probably more expensive though.

              Nuclear base load is an incredibly good strategy though, although nuclear isn’t fossil fuels, so.
