Your opinion is not really appreciated here with the nuclear industry trying to capitalise on the renaissance that seems to be fashionable these days. But I fully agree with your assessment, China is of course building nuclear plants, but have also seen the light in the sense that they are building more renewable generation capacity than all other generation sources combined.

Nuclear will not make a full ‘come back’, literally no one in their right mind is going to invest in 15 year projects when grid connected battery capacity is tripling every 6 months.

Except nuclear does not scale, especially not downward. Because any safety measures that have become standard, are required also on the smaller reactors. Except there, they cost relatively more per kWh output when compared to large plants.

I don’t really see this going to work, renewables are continuing to become cheaper and cheaper, and do scale.

But, I’d like to be pleasantly surprised.

This! Lemmy became so much comfortable by using old.lemmy.world, almost all withdrawal symptoms went away.

Yup, this!
