Hardly, the UK completely replaced coal and reduced it’s dependence on natural gas with renewables from 2010 to 2020. Meanwhile that wasn’t enough time to bring any new nuclear online in the current environment.https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2e/Electric...
Looks like renewables where simply the better, cheaper, and faster option. Which is shocking considering how little hydro and solar they have.
Well sure. When you effectively ban nuclear through regulatory hurdles, why is it a surprise that you don’t builds any and why is that a conclusion you can draw about the efficacy of nuclear itself? Somehow China is building out quite a bit of nuclear capacity while the west is sitting around dithering.
