Hail comes that small?

When you realize that Europe is as north as Hudson Bay, that is going to get chilly and stop growing crops.

More’n likely it was a rimmer

Shouldn’t that sign be in “gold”? Perhaps solid gold.

Is that Megan Kelly?

Have you considered vaccination?

Even if, my estimate is off by 100% 24 reactors would cover the load. But, given how a large power grid works, there is a large portion that is “on demand”.
Which is provided largely by gas turbines, modern ones use either natural gas or hydrogen. The hydrogen is produced during off peak times.

Your numbers failed to mention production life span of generation method.

Since 50% of the 40kmw is currently produced by 6 reactors (CANDU), I’ll estimate 12.

Since the reactors here are run by private companies, I expect they are paying those costs and making a profit, for the rate charged.

FYI

Ontario, Canada has an estimated generating capacity of 39,569 megawatts (MW). In 2021, about 91% of electricity in Ontario was produced from zero-carbon sources: 55% from nuclear, 24% from hydroelectricity , 8% from wind, and 4% from solar.

How many windmills to produce 40k megawatts?

Well, the SMRs I’m talking about are replacing reactors at end of life.

In any event just how many wind turbines do you estimate would be needed to power the electric-arc furnaces in a steel or aluminum refinery, or a city of a few million people?

the peak demand generation needs.
Particularly, I’m encouraged by development of hydrogen as a more concentrated storage medium both for vehicles and suppling peak demand generators.

Base load is a reality, and growing. Be it continuous industrial use, home heating, running the pumps at the sewage treatment facility. Another growth in base load is storage, particularly for electric vehicles.
The use of storage for peak demand is the advantage of not having to start up and stop

the sun is off, wind generation is dependent on the wind. We currently don’t have a large battery storage but, it would only add to the grid during high demand. High demand is during the day time when the industrial and commercial use is higher.
I can’t account for the numbers your chart uses.

I’m just pointing out that the current electrical charges, I experience, are in the chart I posted.
Since, the nuclear power plants supply the base supply (over-night) that is what they charge for that electricity.
During low demand, the gas generators are shut off, hydro water is spilled and

This can only mean: Trump wants to replace Melania. Expect another Einstein visa to be issued.

Since nuclear provides pretty much all of the off-peak energy production, here, the current price indicates that the answer to your question is 0.06eu/kwh

??? Sounds like Trump’s looking for a new wife.

Hey, it’s not socialism if, I benefit!

They are currently building them, and they wouldn’t be doing that unless the test reactors they modelled them on did work.

Try this: www.cnsc-ccsn.gc.ca/eng/reactors...

The current Darlington, Ontario CANDU reactors are being replaced with SMR reactors (water cooled) but, they have been designed to, and will, reuse the nuclear waste from the CANDUs they replace. I believe the molten salt cooled version is even better for waste reuse.

There you go. Understand that the newer nuclear reactors being built, today, actually use the spent fuel from previous generations of nuclear reactors.

Probably you just don’t know much about it.

Fortunately, I get to recharge mine on a grid that uses <90% nuclear, hydro, solar/wind.

We know what to do to open a Saab aircraft factory. Get ‘er done!

Great, I’ve been using Inuit/Turbo Tax forever, now I need to get a new tax program.

The “likeness” needs the tail bobbed off and to be rotated 90deg left, for best resemblance.

Puerto Rico would make a really nice Canadian Province.

Other Countries can’t even send food to help, because; TARIFFS

Wasn’t that announcement about a relationship between obesity and dementia?
