The head of the Australian energy market operator AEMO, Daniel Westerman, has rejected nuclear power as a way to replace Australia’s ageing coal-fired power stations, arguing that it is too slow and too expensive. In addition, baseload power sources are not competitive in a grid dominated by wind and solar energy anyway.

I’m not sure if this is your first conversation on the topic but the debate is almost entirely on renewables vs nuclear.

Did you notice yourself using the word “solar” in this conversation rather than “renewables”?

Yes. I used renewables. But I used solar before because that was specifically the conversation. What a funny and irrelevant question.

FFS if you can’t see that changing the topic of conversation effects the meaning of people’s responses then I don’t know what to tell you. I’m done here

There are many other types of renewables than just solar.

You are not arguing in good faith if you use exclusively solar in one sentence and then make sweeping generalisations about renewables in another. And yes, consider this a final warning from a mod of this community.
