Solar + wind arent the same or cheaper, theyre much cheaper.
Solar + wind + pumped storage approaches the cost of nuclear power (minus its free catastrophe insurance).
>When we get to the point of trying to take the last 20% of the fossil down is when we might regret not trying harder with nuclear
Every kwh of solar and wind produced electricity right now is a kwh not produced by gas and will be for some time almost everywhere.
We will probably regret not building the carbon free power generation that take 6 months to build and is half the price than the one that takes 15 years while gorging itself on subsidies.
