Why are you pretending that there's no wind in the UK? Or Germany? In fact, all of Europe is basically surrounded by a coastline with huge amounts of wind resources.

Or just gas peak already.

But look, if data centers want to fund a whole bunch of advanced nuclear and wait 10 years for it to get built and will foot the bill for the cost overruns, okay I'm not going to stop them.

But let's face it all. This nuclear stuff which is going to be for data centers is all an externalized cost that's going to be dumped on the public.

I’m not pretending anything. I simply posted some easy to double check numbers. I’m pointing out that just this week the wind didn’t blow for 3 days, and that happens frequently during in European winter. So much that the Germans coined a phrase for it.
