The Russian attacks on Ukrainian reactors show they are not easy to defend. Renewables' diffuse nature means that attacking them directly, while easier to score a hit, does much less damage. Knock down one wind turbine, you cut something like 15 MW peak output, you need to hit 60-120 turbines to have the impact of hitting a single nuclear plant (or more depending on capacity factor). If a bomb hits the PV in my garden, the loss of the PV itself is by far the least of my problems. Fission is great when you want the spicy radioisotopes though. MAD worked last time, will it continue to deter in the future? |
