Are you sure about that? I just mean on account of that no being true!

Year to date more EVs have been sold in the EU than diesel cars. A few years ago diesel cars made up ~50% of the vehicle mix (now both are around 14%). Technological revolutions can happen really fast!
If they want to waste their money, let em wast their money...
Fuck, thats a lot. Next time hopefully without the economic downturn.
If you want to waste 6/7th of your electricity, sure why not. That doesn't mean its not tremendously stupid*...
*for most applications
Actually, they just can't be ramped, neither fast nor slow. What is done is just wasting part of the (heat)-energy that is produced. If you want to utilize NPPs you need storage, just like with renewables but more expensive to build.
Its nonexistent because its expensive and impractical. Every cent spent for nuclear is a wasted cent because you would get twice the power from renewables. LCOE.
Renewables and storage is what is gonna happen, you can argue against that as much as you want. Growth of renewables is exponential, growth of nuclear is nonexistent.
And hydrogen, and batteries, and overbuilding, and geographic distribution and a lot more but nukeheads gonna nukehead.
What we need now, to not transform earth into a postapocalyptic wasteland, are renewables. What type of electricity we use after that I don't care about.
