> extra steps. Those extra steps are crucial, as they massively dilute the output and make it weather/daylight and seasonally dependent. Intermittent renewables produce at least an order of magnitude more waste than nuclear reactors, be they fusion or fission. | ||

How are you defining waste here? Nuclear reactors can’t adjust production rapidly and require peaker plants. I don’t have to squint to see how this is also solved by grid scale storage. | ||
