Nuclear power is much safer and economical than even solar or wind energy, neither of which can actually come close to meeting peak demand.
With everyone driving EVs and fast charging them away from home, the biggest issues will be in distribution. Local stations will have to be upgraded to handle not just more energy, but large power demands.
Right now if everyone turns on their AC there are problems. Cars take far more power and energy than an AC system.
But cars don't have to be charged during the day, like AC use. They can all be charged at night. All at the same time. Oh, wait...
Peak demand? What about instant demand???
The crazy thing about electricity distribution is that the electricity produced by powerplants is used immediately. Your computer plugged into the wall is using electricity that was produced in a large generator seconds ago many miles away. There's no storage of the energy. The large electricity grids are connected machines that do their best to keep the voltage within acceptable limits between 110-120 volts at the average home. When more electricity is demanded by the grid it slows down the turbines and generators, when they can't keep up auxiliary natural gas plants and other powerplants come online to make up for it.
I used to work in Eaton's power quality division.
Jews love to cut corners but that causes problems with nuclear.
Jews don't work in nuclear power. They own the energy companies and the finances probably. Actual engineers design and run nuclear powerplants and the safety regulations are the strictest in the world by far. Every nuclear country has their own energy department that oversees everything and they also have the International Atomic Energy Agency which oversees everything they do. Japan ignored the IAEA concerns that the Fukushima powerplant's diesel backup generators were in the basement on the coast where tsunamis happen. Every other nuclear plant on Japan's coast shut down automatically and were cooled by backup generators that stayed dry.
I guess I'll be learning a lot of this soon since my new job is with energy.
