"Sweden's parliament passed legislation on Wednesday to finance a new generation of nuclear reactors the government says are key to energy security and achieving net zero emissions by 2045."

If I were the ruler of a country with coastlines on both Atlantic and Pacific (e.g. Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Honduras, Guatemala, Mexico) I'd have a railroad built that allows to double stack under wire to compete with the Panama Canal. 🚆 🚢 📦

The Iberian peninsula are testing what the near future might look like should Spain press ahead on phasing out nuclear 😉

Tournant 1970-1980 : Tournage de l’ébauche d’un arbre BP (Basse Pression) d’un groupe turboalternateur pour un réacteur #nucléaire de 900 MW dans les ateliers de l’usine Alsthom de Belfort.

What kind of heat pump and what's the COP right now?

Thousands of people marching down the street in Almaraz Spain. A banner says “Sí a Almaraz, Al futuro”

🇪🇸 Over 7,000 people march through the streets of Almaraz Spain to stop the closure of local nuclear plant

The government has mandated the plant close prematurely in 2027

Fantastic work by @guillemsanchis.bsky.social !

Floor plan between EPR 1 and 2.

The French audit office gives off a warning on the planned build of six EPR2s. Are we in for another financial catastrophe like with Olkiluoto-3, Flamanville-3 and Hinkley Point C?

No, but you'll probably see a lot of anti glee the coming days, so let's […]

I never said it was failing, i simply addressed your claim about price with a cherry picked example just as you did. Nuclear was cheap historically and is currently cheap in the East, because they know how to build.
Just for the heck of it here's some more:)

Failed offshore auction highlights how Denmark missed winds of change Denmark's failure to attract any bids in an offshore wind power tender this week stems from a rigid auction model, a failure to adapt to a changed economic reality for renewable energy projects and rising competition, analysts said on Friday.

Wind projects are also having trouble.

*socialist. And Yugoslavia was one of the founding members of the non-aligned movement so implying he had ties to the KGB because he was Yugoslav is unfounded at best and stupid at worst.

two button meme: "good thing we have safety regs" on one side "let's get rid of safety regs" on the other. Bottom text "nuclear advocates looking at nuclear power's excellent safety record"

Tough decision

Not sure I'm willing to only bet the future of climate on a group of technologies that haven't managed to decarbonise a single major grid.

Nuclear has a 4-9x higher energy production per unit of installed capacity and is dispatchable. So yes apples and oranges.
Will we not need clean power in 10, 20 and 30 years? Will we stop planting trees because they take decades to grow?
System costs are the thing that really matter.

Because your post is comparing apples and oranges.
We need all low carbon technologies for quick and robust decarbonisation.

Agree, but I also wouldn't complain if we minimize mining.

It's also one of the lowest, depending on which source you look at (some sources list wind as lower).

Can you post the source of this information? It's also note worthy that capacity does not equal production.

Nuclear actually has the lowest material intensity.

Did you know that installed capacity and energy production aren't the same?
