Comment on Nuclear too slow to replace coal, and baseload “simply can’t compete” with wind and solar, AEMO boss says
You can’t really guarantee anything. What we do is play the odds. And the odds are pretty good.
Except you have no emperical basis for judging the accuracy of those odds.
Actually I do. Simply look at injured people because of nuclear power and compare them to injured people because of any alternative.
Irrelevant to storing nuclear waste for 10000 years, which was what I was talking avout
well we’ve been storing nuclear waste for decades so we can extrapolate
That’s like saying we don’t know if the sun will come up tomorrow, because we can’t see in the future.
