Nuclear Power, the forbidden thought, page-65

I reckon that government is stuck right now with exactly the same issue that has been about for a couple/few decades

that no matter which way you go, it's a risk and a LOT will be a total waste - or highly likely.

you mention storage by 2030 - well, yes there will be a lot more storage. But storage isn't going to cut it. I can't see how base power as we know it can be replaced.

But what to do? More coal - politically unpalatable and business certainly won't fund it. Nuclear, I think politically not doable and also - both coal and nuc, if it were decided to hit the go button - time to supply would be way too late.

If one were to go with something like V2G - well, that's a risk with a huge rollout that something will come in and make it obsolete - and one would have to have a huge uptake in EV's to make it happen and some hefty infrastructure changes I guess. Particularly as the majority of EV's would be in the higher valued areas which are probably the hardest to engineer.

The only arguments that I see that might stack up in being practical and economic - fail badly because they are so radical

in short - I think we're buggered.
