Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

in 2025.The entire point is that by that date we should be finishing the paintjobs on the last bits of our carbonfree generation capacity, not just commencing construction. Also. not counting backup and storage, which are factors that do absolutely horrible things to both the economic and green credentials of wind. (most wind is backed up by gas. This is not a climate friendly policy)

I must be failing to communicate how very urgent I feel this problem is. I am not advocating that we should maybe build one or two more nukeplants. I am advocating that we should send construction crews to every major coalfired powerstation on the planet, build reactors next to them, (fast, thorium and conventional all, as supply chain allows) appropriating the grid connections and cooling water, and celebrate criticality at each new reactor by blowing the fracking coal station to kingdom come
