Nuclear power has a long run up to build one.
In that time the power mix changes to do more with what comes online than anything going offline.
I think nuclear will make more sense both financially and bang for buck. There are a multitude of reasons not to build them and its got to do with the no one wants one near them factor more than anything else IMHO.
Thats fair. I don't have any good answers but gum trees around my property limit the viability of solar panels at my place.
Id be on the roof cleaning a lot.
The fact of the matter is that nuclear power plants are being decommissioned and not replaced. I think that's more to do with economics than environmental/climate change issues; renewables are cheaper and the baseload concerns are really just hot air. Of course, storing renewable energy is not just about batteries; molten salt, heated sand and the generation of renewable fuels like hydrogen are realistic alternatives.
My house is surrounded by gum trees and I'm about to double the number of solar panels on the roof. The only problem I have is lichen growing on the panels.
