Parent was talking about the necessity of networked digital control systems to manage intermittent renewable sources.

My point was that a grid comprised of a higher percentage of nuclear wouldn't need as advanced networked feedback, as sources wouldn't be turning on and off suddenly.

Indeed there would be local digital monitoring and control with nuclear, but that's a much less risky threat vector.
