Looks expensive. The grey ones are the broken ones.

Because photovoltaic and wind power are inherently unreliable, they create a need for fossil fuel power sources to always be ready to go in order to fill in the gaps. Fossil fuel companies like to talk about how they're all for a green transition, but what they don't say is that they want the transition to last forever.

This is brain dead, we have plenty of green energy storage methods available. We just need a big enough green energy surplus to store.

The benevolent fossil fuel industry will be there to help with every step of this revolutionary transition to renewable energy.

You know what, you're right, we're all fucked, there is nothing we can do, let's gather round and jerk ourselves off about how miserable we all are until the warm embrace of the ocean washes over our heads. Thanks for helping me finally see that.

What's with the histrionics? Nuclear power is a mature technology that's practically a drop in replacement for fossil fuel power. No need to redesign the grid to make it smart and add problematic battery storage.

I wasnt going to comment but

Nuclear is practically a drop in replacement for fossil fuel

got me real good, keep up the good trolling.
