On: China to supercharge uranium race with 150 new nuclear reactors

You cant make statements like that without looking at the math. That's the problem. Every time I look at the reality of implementing such systems I run into the reality that the cost, complexity and timelines just don't align with the imagined benefits.

I could be wrong. You could be 100% correct. I just have not found evidence to support these ideas. It all sounds good until math and physics do their jobs.

Let's look at math. Specifically, let's look at the cost for renewables + storage to provide synthetic baseload, a drop-in replacement for baseload source like nuclear.

The $40/W figure you get is utter nonsense.
