In reply to the discussion: Nuclear Revival is Ruining Climate Protection Efforts and Harming Customers [View all]Dead_Parrot
(14,478 posts)17. Wow. I am genuinely in awe.
You produce dozens of posts, and several OPs, on how buying electricity based on fuel cost steers generation from sources with high fuel-cost.
You then sit there, nonplussed, wondering how a source with fuel cost of under a cent per KWh might possibly replace sources with a fuel cost of 5-10c (gas) or 3-5c (coal).
Congratulations! You taken nuclear exceptionalism to a whole new level.

So are geothermal and concentrating solar (also thermal) obstructing the development of renewables?

IOW you haven't got a clue and you need time to work up something that doesn't sound foolish.

Since I never intimated that it was about "perceptions" I don't know who you are responding to.
