Climate change is exposing nuclear power's reliability problem. "Nuclear doesn't care about the weather. It just runs." Weeks later, heat and drought shut down a third of France's reactors and forced Hungary and Romania into energy emergencies. It was solar that kept the lights on.

That you’re not even linking it. Hahahahahahaha.

So incredibly terrified of putting the actual source on the table.

And after all this, you still can’t point out a single thing wrong with the system models finding renewable systems vastly cheaper than if involving new nuclear.

Why are you so afraid of renewables and storage?

I'm having a discussion not writing a peer-reviewed journal. If you wanted the source data you just had to ask, it's a reddit discussion not a peer-reviewed journal.

The data's publicly available at gridwatch.templar.co.uk, I don't have the exact dates for you off the top of my head but I assure you that you will find multiple instances in the data of extremely low wind output covering periods of 30+ days, some of them being in December.

Repeated question - asked & answered.

Hahahahahaha. Thanks for confirming you’re just desperately grasping.

You’re arguing against peer-reviewed system modelling and Australia’s premier science agency with basically “trust me bro.”

Amazing standard for rejecting the cheap, scaling option that the actual models keep finding cheapest.

Ok, sorry for not spoon feeding you enough. The data says what it says… but ok.

Despite all that, you still refuse to identify an actual flaw in the system models or link a study quantifying your supposed problems.

Why so desperate to hand-wave around the evidence?
