Say nothing of the fact that they will have Kepler to bully water-loggerd flyovers. He and the rest of those silver haired, statin gulping Airstreamers.

Weather models are calling for an insufferable heat wave across Europe in a week. Forecast shows Belgium will have a high of 113 around July 17 or 18th.
Records were last set in 2019 when they had a 100 heat wave go through.
Average for the country is low to mid 80s

No big deal. Italy is only already in a bad drought, affecting all their crops, and a melting glacier in the Dolomites killed some people last week but - have you heard about the price of gas??

Well whadaya know ... some folks are realizing that nuclear is a baseline load green solution.

If you're willing to risk pussification syndrome.
Well, I think that any discussion of energy generation (now or in the short term) that doesn't include nuclear as part of the portfolio is not a serious discussion. These take years to plan and build, so the sooner we start, the sooner they're on line.
Also, I think that with the proliferation of EVs, we're going to start needing a lot more electrical energy. As battery technology really comes along we will likely have the ability to store generated electricity (instead of spending so much time/resources balancing demand with supply), and I think nuclear generation should be a big part of that.

Agreed. I spent time with energy expert this weekend who is a huge environmentalist and he laid out points for why he says nuclear should be part of solution

Sure, they should also be scared to death of a ton of other things happening due to climate change. Heck homeowners in Florida are already in a bad spot.
nuclear isn’t anyones favorite choice. The point is it can be in discussion regarding lessening usage of fossil fuels

hey, fuck if mookie cares.
just need to stay on planet earth and make decisions like where it’s going.
is con Edison gonna decide and hear about how they only care about the bottom line and screw colored for putting it in neighborhoods where it can make financial sense?
is any pol concerned at.fucking.all about being re-elected gonna vote to put it in their jurisdiction?
….meanwhile
People just need to get used to having smaller backyards.
Population density:
US: 36/km2
India: 412/km2
We have plenty of land such that it doesn’t need to be in anyone’s backyard.

Now that’s a winning argument:-(
If I cared about winning arguments, I wouldn’t be posting on a message board, now, would I?
Here, I can post the truth, consequence-free!
I also think that a large-scale investment and use of battery storage would make the "where do we put these so the NIMBY's won't sue us to oblivion" much easier. Right now you need to put energy production somewhat sorta near consumption. While we wouldn't necessarily want to keep all our power plants and storage facilities in one spot, they can be much less spread out than they currently need to be.
