How about the world installs such an excess of solar/wind/renewable that the even the lowest variable takes care of the base-load?

I don't know ... call me suspicious ... but having Ukraine and and Russia fighting in amongst a nuclear reactor gives me the willies.

Something previously unthinkable. Until the unthinkable becomes thunk.

You don't know what's around the corner. And those in support of nuclear have such a hard-on about it that they're starting to sound like the crypto cult. I'm not convinced.

Please don't. There are plenty of valid reasons to support more nuclear power, there are plenty of valid reasons to oppose it, but there are no good reasons to go ad hominem.

Come on. You have to get some body blows in occasionally.

Ok, apologies ...
