The majority of studies show that a global transition to 100% renewable energy across all sectors – power, heat, transport and industry – is feasible and economically viable.
Actually, none of them do. This other guy is insane and no one gets a reactor in their basement, but we have neither the production capacity nor the time to avoid nuclear being a significant portion of all energy in a fissile free future.
You’d better let the International Energy Agency, a department of the OECD, know that their research and report is wrong, then.
“Substantiated by in-depth case studies, this report infers that, almost anywhere on the planet, nearly 100% variable renewable energy (VRE) resources such as solar and wind power grids firmly supplying clean power and meeting demand 24/365 are not only possible but would be economically viable.”
