Comment on A fossil-fuel plant seeing nuclear coming...

Tell me about it! Opinion pieces huh?

And how has the feasibility of battery storage skyrocketed exactly? We haven’t built that many at all in the last 13 years since the article was written. It’s always a promise of much better batteries in the next decade. We don’t have enough lithium mining capacity as it is, and sodium batteries require even more factories that still have to be built.

How about not betting everything on unproven tech where it still needs to be researched, factories still have to be built, storage facilities have to be built, and those have to be connected to the grid.

Does that really seem like skyrocketing feasibility to you?

Ok it’s obvious you’re not here to discuss anything in good faith. You’ve arrived at your conclusion and will make up whatever nonsense you feel like will support it. Have the life you deserve.

  Who is the one dealing out personal attacks here? And I’m the one discussing in bad faith?
  
  Just because someone doesn’t agree with your misguided views doesn’t make them argue in bad faith. You simply haven’t made a strong argument.
  
  Have the life you deserve.
  
  Thanks. I will. I hope you will too. This is pathetic.

    If you’re going to pretend that batteries haven’t become enormously more popular over the past decade and that some investor hack is equivalent to someone whose career is research in this exact area, that tells me everything I need to know about how you are approaching this. It’s not worth effort partaking any further with someone who cannot have the basic decency to do likewise.

    Am I? Where? And I thought you said I was arguing in bad faith? Quote me or GTFO.

    I never said that. I said they were both opinion pieces. Building more straw mans it seems… And your career research dude’s answer to winter nights without much wind is GAS TURBINES.
    
    that tells me everything I need to know
    
    You just can’t handle being proven wrong, you’re a sore loser and an even poorer debater. You couldn’t make an argument stick if your life depended on it.
    
    basic decency
    
    LOL
