I think you replied to the wrong comment by accident lol

and this is a short intro to why a (60%/40%) split between renewables and nuclear may be the most accessible fossil free solution, and why the value of adding more variable renewables to a grid falls sharply the closer you get to 100%.

Also, the last article you posted is paywalled.

The criticism is extraordinarily simple and justified.

Which is better, Renewables and Nuclear or Renewables and Fossil Fuels?

Germany could have had an almost entirely fossil free grid by now, but instead they chose renewables & fossil fuels.

New archetypes of NP can run on depleted fuel. There's enough of that around for more than 50yrs of power.

Does manual license allow driving automatics? Where I live there are auto licences, which can only drive autos, and "regular" onees

Yes I can, Sweden, born in the 00's and my car is a 90s manual.

Wow, this is awful. Huge cudos to y'all for holding on through this. It's obviously a deliberate attack on the fediverse by malicious actors.

I suspect that it's more about leasing than anything else. Committing to a long term fixed expenditure in a rapidly depreciating asset is a risk, particularly in the current economy. If one of you lost their jobs or something unexpected happens in the coming years, you'd be stuck with the monthly payment.

Leasing is - in essence - spending money you don't have yet.

20% is huge on cheaper (i.e not horribly expensive) EV 's when you'll already be on the edge of your range for daily use. Luckily though, most people don't live in northern latitudes.
