@energy_realist I didn’t say all wind turbines operate all the time. They don’t. But it’s a fallacy to say all nuclear plants operate all the time and to use that as your main argument about why nuclear is better than renewable. If constant power production is what you want, nuclear isn’t great. — PolitiTweet.org

Nuclear being available all the time is a myth. “France has 62,380 megawatts (MW) of nuclear generation capacity provided by 57 reactors. Reuters estimates 18,300 MW, or about 29.3% of that capacity is offline.” https://t.co/45BfkeRtYU — PolitiTweet.org

@energy_realist If flexibility is what you want, nuclear fails pretty miserably. It’s astronomically expensive. I don’t support nuclear, but those who do need to be clear that it’s not a panacea that will solve all problems and get us to net zero overnight. — PolitiTweet.org
