We don’t have nuclear power plants and we still have a stable grid ;-)

Yeah you burn coal, idk why you had to mention nuclear when their issue is that their grid is horrendously mantained becasue of greedy corporations.

So does Australia with its lobbied mining industry. Also Germany is close to reaching 50% renewables, surpassing Australia in their emission goals by at least several years

Cool I guess. Nuclear is clean energy though. Anyway, this discussion is quite off the rails of the original comment chain, which is why I mentioned the need to mention nuclear when it was quite irrelevant to the conversation.

Cool I guess. Doesn't matter cause at the end of the day, electric stoves (esp induction) are still far superior to gas and definitely do not break the grid as above article claims.
