30 years ago, I would have said the same thing. But right now solar is seeing technological advances at an exponential rate, such that by the time we build a nuclear power plant, get it approved, and get it running, solar will be both cheaper and safer while using less space.


Solar isn’t dispatchable and adding 24 hour storage doubles the cost. Adding seasonal storage increases the cost by 150x.


So you claim that and that one "paper" from 2019 calculating worst case and with 2019 battery prices. Bad thing is battery prices are falling through the floor and 6 years make all the difference.

Please get your prices to 2025.
