Why renewables can’t save the planet
There's a lot of disingenuous nonsense in there.
The UK government love nuclear power, and yet high-profile projects keep failing unless they get ridiculously high guaranteed prices. We also still don't have an agreed location for the geological storage facility that is needed for nuclear waste.
He also doesn't seem to understand that Uranium comes from mines, which are actually quite big and have their own environmental impacts, and is not an unlimited resource. I
He states that nuclear is difficult to vary to account for the changing output of renewables, but doesn't say what his solution for varying demand is (France deal with this by giving people dirt cheap electricity off-peak to try and even things out, and also by being interconnected to the rest of Europe). The intermittency of wind and solar can be managed by better energy storage - a technology area that's improving rapidly.
And Germany moved away from Nuclear toward Coal because they over-reacted to Fukushima, not to provide capacity for renewables.
Anyway, an energy mix is important, wind/solar/nuclear/hydro can all contribute. We need to mitigate the downsides of all of them. Putting all our hope on one technology (lol, fusion) is stupid.
