The problem with solar panels is that they produce energy the most when you least need it, and they produce the least when you most need it. Fuck the market. It's a resource storage and production management problem.

I don't understand it well enough to explain it but I think that this actually is not the issue here. Something about it making the grids unstable?

Though based on their phrasing it 100% sounds like "lol how can be greedy if free"

A case of the quiet part being spoken outloud. That's my beef with nuclear energy as well - why? Solar power clearly work, and best of all, it isn't centralized. Same with wind power. It even works in circumstances you might have to shut down nuclear power plants due to excessive heat. You even have to worry about the increasing load on the grid because they are easier to distribute. It needs energy storage, and there's no shortage of means for energy storage.

Nuclear power plants are going to be charging you the same as coal plants for energy as long as they are owned by market tycoons. Nuclear power plants make the best sense in an ideal world where society matters and there aren't people gaming the market. We do not live in an ideal world.
