Clean Repowering is a no-regrets method to accelerate renewable energy deployment

[Fred Bloggs]

First reconductoring, now repowering. Decades old transmission backlog can be eliminated within a year.

Research funded by Amazon.

Just pass a law rquiring that the wind and sunshine happen near
existing power plants.

Or a law enabling deployment of small modular nukes.

Don't be silly. Existing power plants are big and there aren't many of them. Solar farms and wind turbine are smaller and you can site them closer to the places that consume their output.

That's even sillier. There are no small modular nuclear plants around to deploy - you'd need to spend a lot of money to set up a production line to produce them, and that would take decades - as it did to get the production line going for solar cells and wind turbines in the volume we need.

On current evidence the power from modular nukes would be more expensive than what we get from solar cells and wind turbine - regular nuclear plants are a lot more expensive, and if modular nukes ever looked as if they were going to be cheaper we'd probably have them already.

John Larkin claims to believed in the free market, but he doesn't like what it is telling him about power generation.
