A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
Kudos for a measured response to my sometimes snarky tone.

I only had the time to read the executive summary of this thing, but I learned a bit more about nuclear power plants.
It's still not enough for me to evaluate how well that can integrate with a grid dominated by renewables (can the load following be fast enough, to match wind and solar fluctuations) but still good to know more.
