As construction of first small modular reactor looms, buyers wait for the final tally

Are you anticipating using Musk's batteries?

Or start over with some new over the horizon tec?

According to Chuck, we shouldn't question Saskpower's decisions on wind and solar, but they don't know what they are doing when it comes to SMRs.

This article sums up what AB5 and myself have maintained all along, that incorporating wind and solar into the electrical grid increases the cost of electricity, it does not make it more affordable. It would be nice if Chuck2 would read the article, but he won’t. He will just spew more pie in the sky Liberal talking points!

anybody that is not wacko knows that it costs more to set up and run two systems compared to one

Looks like 2025 is shaping up to be just as silly as 2024 was on Agrisilly! [/QUOTE]

So get lost!

[chuckChuck]

So Crop says you can't have more than one generating source and renewables too?

Alberta, Saskatchewan, North Dakota and Texas prove that particular flat earth thinking is wrong.

Renewables don't have run all the time to add low cost and low carbon generation capacity.

It seems the goal posts keep moving.

[chuckChuck]

Especially when it comes to paying up to five times more than planned for an SMR!

Even at 2 times they are dead in the water!

Did you read the article I posted on how incorporating wind and solar into the grid increases the cost of electricity to consumers Chuck2? You have yet to meet AF5’s challenge of showing us a jurisdiction where adding wind and solar lowered consumer’s electricity costs!

[chuckChuck]

Its an opinion and nobody can read it Hamloc unless you post the link.

Economists in Alberta and Texas have said that renewables are lower generation cost options that help keep the wholesale price of electricity lower.

In Alberta with holding supply drove up prices to consumers. It wasn't wind and solar.
