"Wind & Solar can’t deliver 24/7. Even with a budget busting number of batteries Wind & Solar + Batteries can’t deliver 24/7/365."
Another way to state this is the costs are infinite.
I think the BWRX-300 is one of the most important power plants in the U.S. This is a small reactor, but the "X" does not mean "experimental" it means this is the 10th version of the same boiling water reactor, once designed for lower cost, yet higher safety margins. It can literally be plopped down on a coal plant site.
As to Westinghouse - these plants will go to states that welcome them. Ideally they will be built next to existing coal or retired nuclear power plants.
HI David what do you think of the work of Fervo in relation to fracking deep hot rock geothermal? I have been watching with interest as they are proving up an expansive global resource within the nuclear cost parameters, add to this the potential to mix and match with the oil shale formation all through this region and the results could economically be very positive.
Heavily researched does not guarantee correct. Even one erroneous assumption in common renders pages of references, papers and citations useless. CAGW’s GHE contains three such assumptions.
GHE claims without it Earth becomes 33 C cooler, a 255 K, -18 C, ball of ice.
Wrong.
Naked Earth would be much like the Moon, barren, 400 K lit side, 100 K dark.
TFK_bams09 heat balance graphic uses the same 63 twice violating GAAP and calculating out of thin air a 396 BB/333 “back”/63 net GHE radiative forcing loop violating LoT 1 & 2.
Wrong.
Likewise, the ubiquitous plethora of clones.
GHE requires Earth to radiate “extra” energy as a BB.
Wrong.
A BB requires all energy leaving the system to do so by radiation. Per TFK_bams09 60% leaves by kinetic modes, i.e. conduction, convection, advection and latent rendering BB impossible.
GHE is bogus and CAGW a scam so alarmists must resort to fear mongering, lies, lawsuits, censorship and violence.

I haven’t paid much attention. I’m waiting until they’re filling 10 orders.

Solid work, David!
