> which is not working very well It's actually working great. Gas peakers are expensive to run, but not nearly as expensive and time consuming to deploy as nuclear - you could deploy a solar installation with matching gas capacity and still spend less and have it years earlier than the least expensive, fastest deploying nuclear power plant. On top of that storage has been undercutting gas lately in terms of cost - especially now that it scaled up. That is all affecting the economics of nuclear. | ||

Combined storage and solar/wind will probably drop under combined cycle gas in a couple years, certainly it will for China. |
