    But price doesn't seem to matter to those who promote nuclear which is by far the most expensive generation option which the private sector wont touch but some governments will heavily subsidize.

    According to the IEA most of the new generation capacity is going to come from solar and wind in most countries because even if it is intermittent it's still the cheapest source of new capacity

    And storage in the form of hydrogen, ammonia and other technology including EV batteries make intermittent renewables much more attractive.

    Even in Alberta.

      You need a rolling base load. Hydro is great if you have a River to dam. Gas is good if you have a reliable supply not subject to a despots whims. Some jurisdictions base load is diesel like Jamaica. Batteries are crap storage.
