Re: Nuclear project in disarray as two pull out making new plants
Nuclear is good for baseline load, gas is good for demand load, and wind/solar are good for producing when they feel like it. Current renewable energy technology is just not up to the job.
The Fukushima accident is barely relevant, other than to places where every backup is likely to get wiped out by quake/Tsunami - though it would be a good basic principle for new designs to be able to manage a safe emergency shutdown using only what is within the containment building.
