    Solar ans wind power will never ever be a good baseline energy production méthod. It’s complementary.

    No, it is a perfekt baseline energy production method. France is buying our renewable energy, because it can’t produce enough with its broken nuclear power plants and the ones not producing full because of the drought. The numbers do not lie.

      Also, what I see in that graph is that your grid’s baseline isn’t renewables, but fossil fuels. That’s shameful.

          Yes, and if you hadn’t closed your nuclear plants you wouldn’t have needed to rely on carbon-emitting russian gas-burning power plants.

          Renewables are great. But like anything else, they’re not suitable for all use cases. And where they’re not suitable you have to use greenhouse gas emitting power plants. Wouldn’t it be much preferable if those were instead NPPs?

          People arguing against nuclear power are arguing for oil/gas/coal, whether they know it or not.
