Nuclear will continue to go sideways while solar and wind continue to go parabolic. The reasons are a) technological and then b) NIMBY-ism and local regulation. The critical question, as this continues for a while, is when the marginal cost of solar and wind becomes effectively zero (next few years), and the ramp up time for a new MW then also becomes zero what the economics, energy density and time to market of nuclear will have to be to remain competitive. In other words, when will far-field nuclear (ie solar) eat near-field nuclear (ie SMRs and such).

Throw a stone in energy twitter and you'll hit people who work for (clean) energy developers or their trade groups. But anyone involved in state capacity of electricity -- PUCs, and public power utilities -- are few and far between, or simply anon. Major skew in perspective.

It really is so egregious that Virginia’s wealthiest residents are straight up trying to steal voting power from the state’s rural and working class voters
