60. Small Modular Nuclear Reactors vs Solar+Wind+Storage

The Clean Energy Show

The anti-carbon tax Canadian provinces are jonesing for small scale modular nuclear because it annoys the hippies. But is nuclear actually necessary to solve our climate problem if you look at the projected costs of solar, wind and storage. The first plant won't be operational until after 2030 and by then green energy will be so cheap they'll give it away. Which they're doing now in the U.K. for EV drivers when there's extra power. It's called a zap flash window! It also reduces the strain on the grid.
