over-build renewables, thereby making it extremely costly

Compared to nuclear? Go check out the cost and schedule overruns for Hinkley C and then talk to me about cost. $40 billion and counting so far.

No, compared to the cost that proponents of an all-renewable strategy argue it would cost.

Both nuclear and massive-oversupply of renewables are pricey. The difference is one works on a quiet night, while the other doesn’t.

Sigh. Really?

I’ll show you all the world’s power grid planners, combined, making a choice to include nuclear in their decarbonised grid planning!

But I’m sure you know better than all of them.
