Comment on “Lies and fantasies:” Bowen puts $387 billion price tag on Dutton’s nuclear plans
Edgelord_Of_Tomorrow@lemmy.world 1 year agoSolar Hydro has pretty much solved the baseload problem.
- Generates power at night and on demand during peaks.
- Can store excess energy from the grid during times of low cost.
- Spinning mass means it can play the same role as coal/nuclear in grid infrastructure.

All these things are still prototypes. Scaling them up will take who know how long and no one knows what problems will arise. Recent problem with Simens wind turbines shows that even wind is still not fully mature. Plus who is going to build all these thousands of hydro-solar stations? Do we have industry to do it? Nuclear is there ready to build, not required any new KNOW-HOW or creates some enormous industry ( like Lithium batteries).

It is not. Lots of examples.
