  • Do you have the calculations for thar 15%? I’d love to fact check it.

    Quick search didn’t found me that report from the iae. You should probably pass me a link so I can fact check it too.

    My country is not the USA, we do not have those ridiculous parking places that you guys have. Still renewables takes a ridiculous amount of space. I shall now as the land where I grew up is totally changed due wind power installations. And we are at 50% renewable generation. I fear to think what would become of this land if it was a 100% (that would probably need to be not double the land but 3-4 or more times the land if we want to cover energy usage during not windy months)

    I really think that the sweet spot would be about 30-40 nuclear and 70-60 renewables.

    You really need to stop following political dogmas, and start thinking.


  • Fact: that is a fake statement.

    Nuclear is not renewables competition.

    Nuclear provides a base line energy production.

    Both renewables and fossils produce a variable production line.

    So within a rational production scheme the choice is nuclear+renewables or fossils+renewables. As renewables by themselves cannot work. Because there is months over the year when it’s not sunny, not rainy and not windy enough, what do we do for those months? We close humanity during those months because some political dogma says so?


  • Fact: renewables take more land, that could be used for other purposes.

    Fact: renewables by themselves cannot, and I mean CANNOT, be used alone. Unless you are willing to have a ridiculous over-provision. They depend on weather and have massive seasonal divergences. You need a base line power production to have a rational generation scheme.

    Fact: nuclear have a higher cap for total production than renewables. As humanity needs more and more and more energy renewables (even destroying all our usable land) won’t be enough.

    Fact: no everyone that doesn’t share your opinion is an “astrosuftist lobby” some of us can also think by ourselves. And some of us can ever think above the dogma of our political school of choice.
