    We aren’t producing enough renewables to completely switch, but the power demand still needs to be met. So the Nuclear plants are being replaced by coal power plants.

    Nuclear is a necessary stepping stone until we can go 100% renewables.

    • We need to be fully renewable in 20 years. Starting new nuclear projects now will not solve anything as these projects take 10-20 years.

      The demand is flexible and can be adjusted to the supply for the most part. The remaining part can be solved with power to X conversion like hydrogen or other chemical energy carriers.
