This article is a joke of renewable propaganda. It makes hypothesis on the worst nuclear trends, and project the renewable trends, ignoring that renewables need fossile to provide consistent output. They also question each and every analysis that pretend nuclear would be good.

This is an anti-nuclear shit post.

renewables need fossile to provide consistent output

If only we had invented energy storage!

Also not even an advantage.

France has nuclear capacity for 550TWh/yr at nameplate for a load of 420-500TWh/yr and several neighboring countries that let them use hydro for storage.

They still produce 40-50TWh from dispatchable sources.

If storage is impossible, then we better build more wind and solar instead of nuclear.

Yet studies show that renewables decarbonise faster and the only way for nuclear to complete is basically in a majority renewables grid. Oh, and also be 25% cheaper. Which is not ideal.
