" It wont ramp up and down, it would provide 90%+ uptime. You know the answer to this question, which is why you fight nuclear so much, because it will see large scale renewable investment decreasing. "
Baseload coal is struggling to achieve 60% uptime in 2024.
That's why they are losing money . That's why they are dropping out of the market. As one drops out the others get a brief reprieve but its only temporary as more renewable energy and storage enters the market.
A baseload nuclear plant needs to run at 90% plus to be remotely economic . lt couldn't do that in the Australian market as coal is proving .
Thanks for confirming : :
1. You don't understand the Australian electricity market.
2. Baseload nuclear can't work in the Australian market because it can't operate 90% of the time.
