Comment on 40% of US electricity is now emissions-free
partial_accumen@lemmy.world 10 months agoWho’s suggesting there’s a magic bullet? Certainly not me.
I’ve got no issue making it a large supply of our energy, but we’ll need generation sources for cloudy days. We can’t presume the battery storage will be full every time we need it and it’s cloudy out.
My argument is that nuclear isn’t it.

Fair enough – what do you propose we use instead?

Solar PV, wind, and hydro where we can. Geothermal in the very few places we can.
Combined cycle gas-turbine (CCGT) methane everywhere else.
