    Its nonexistent because its expensive and impractical. Every cent spent for nuclear is a wasted cent because you would get twice the power from renewables. LCOE.

      What do you not get about the world not being able to produce enough renewables to switch over completely yet?

      You can’t just throw money against a problem and hope that it is fixed.

      Nuclear is a necessary stepping stone until we go to full 100% renewables

        You get it wrong, the world is not able to build enough nuclear. Sometime In the next 18 months the world will have the capacity to produce one TW of solar panels per year. Thats around 50 times the capacity of the nuclear reactors that have been built in the best year of the nuclear buildout. Which means around 8 to 9 times the amount of electricity.
        So yeah… and we are talking about the best year…
