But the nuclear plants will always push the renewables away and keep the price up. It is a bad combination. You need something like gas (later hydrogen) which you can just turn on and off again. It’s just physics. Nuclear Plants will always push the price up.
Should change the “buy” button to “rent”
As I said, Nuclear Plants are slowing down their expansion of renewables. No idea why people downvote me.
I got an old HP ProBook from my parents because they got a new one. I also installed Linux Mint on it :D Everything works, the keyboard lights, the wifi, the preset buttons work the same.
it’s really fun trying out Linux on older hardware. Don’t know when was the last time I had fun with playing around tech stuff. Linux really made it fun again for me
For example the biggest Battery Storage in germany is happening this year https://www.diesachsen.de/en/economy/germanys-largest-battery-storage-facility-launches-near-leuna-3169138
And we will see more and more of projects like these in the next years.
Like even Texas is investing into Renewables + Battery Storage. Even they get it

Too bad this also slows down their renewable energy projects, which would make it cheaper. But Nuclear Reactors + renewables is a bad combination. Nuclear Reactors can’t be adjusted to renewable energy, because you can’t just shut them down when the renewables producing lots of cheap energy. Nuclear Plants always have to keep running, which is also expensive.
They have to export because you can’t just shut down a Nuclear Reactor. So they sell it for cheap to other countries. It would be more expensive for them to shut down a reactor because they produce too much. The other countrys gladly take the cheap energy. But france doesn’t really make profit with this, it’s just less expensive for them.
Nuclear and renewables are not good together. You can’t adjust the output of Nuclear to the up and downs of renewables. Nuclear is a lot more expensive than Renewables. So Nuclear have always to be running, which makes the price go up. You can’t build more renewables to make the price go down if you have Nuclear running.
The cheapest way is to have renewables produce energy and store it in batteries.
Even if solar panels get buried under a mudslide, you can just build new solar panels very quickly. If that would happen to a nuclear plant, you would need to wait 10+years for a new one.
Renewables + Battery is the most cheapest way. If you don’t want to import Batteries from China then you need to starz to build your own factories. Nuclear Reactors make you also depend on other countries.
I’m not directly Anti-Nuclar. I’m anti bad financial decissions. Spending so much money on Nuclear just to produce expensive electricity is just stupid. All the money needs to go to Renewables + Batteries, now.
