Comment on Nuclear power explained in 12 numbers to help you understand how it fits Australia’s energy needs
dillekant@slrpnk.net 2 weeks agoYou also can’t just turn nuclear on or off. You’d need to also get rid of existing solar. Ie: get people to disconnect rooftop solar to make nuclear work.

If you told people they weren’t allowed to export solar anymore, so many would disconnect from the electricity grid, starting the grid death spiral where wealthy individual subscribers unsubscribe, poorer people get higher bills and it gets relatively cheaper to get solar and go off the grid, etc
You end up with only the poorest buying electricity with government or charity money and industry using the grid
That would be really bad for nuclear, losing the bulk of the home market

Yeah I can’t remember where I read that but it’s definitely a possibility IIRC.
