The joke of the matter is that we are "fighting carbon", one step removed from calling it,its real name CO2.
We
knew for a decade or more that the Globalists that want to control you
and take your money to fight carbon, and the nukists are all in the same
club....the big secretive project club, the economic hit men.
CO2 follows temperature. Not the other way around. Proven fact.
Sure, reduce pollution, and force pollution control on coal while phasing out coal over a rational period of time.
I
love how the nukists and the other Globalists (Socialists) use the same
memes.....it's different this time because of computers. As if human
error itself isn't a large enough damning statement against anything
nuclear. Same with the recent lies from the Globalist rag piece, the
New York Times that is promoting
"We Need Fully Automated Luxury Communism"
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/11/opinion/fully-automated-luxury-communism.html
How
quaint, by adding in a few words, we can now embrace the System that
has killed hundreds of millions. Note to all --- kind of like Nuclear,
and don't forget the morbidity.

And the Nukist doubled down on the CO2 lies

And Bernie Sanders Triples down on the insanity of putting a different word in front Socialism and somehow, magically, changing the nature of the beast.

How
refreshing to find a comment board where people all seem to know what
they are talking about. Add to that: efficiency programs operated by
utilities, wind on a 2 - 4 MW turbine in groups of 50 MW's or more, and
utility scale solar (25 MW's or more) are setting new low price records
everywhere in the world. Efficiency below 1.6 cents per KWh.
The
cheapest wind contract so far is 1.5 cents per KWh.
The cheapest solar
I've heard of is 2.2 cents but I think there are some cheaper ones.
The
Southern Company (mentioned in the article) is building Vogtle, the
last nuclear reactor I expect to see ever built in the U.S. which is
well over 18 cents per KWh, and pushing much higher. Lazard is going to
have to raise their annual assessment of the cost of nuclear power
because of this one plant.
Storage is not needed until we get
about 80% of our power from wind and solar and we want to eliminate the
last 20% of fossil generation from existing natural gas (20% of total
power, maybe 60% of current natural gas). It is already cheap enough to
combine with wind and solar, but by the time we need it it will be
cheaper.
There are about five major technologies competing for economic
leadership in storage. I won't place bets, but I like using
above-peak-demand electricity to produce hydrogen to be stored in
existing natural gas facilities and used in existing combined cycle
plants. Even if they can't keep leakage to a minimum it will be cheaper
than today's supply.
Efficiency is too cheap to meter. Nuclear
power was a pretender. Nordhaus should go away until he learns
something about utility economics.
