babies first electric resistive heater prototype would like to disagree with you.
I think they might be taking issue primarily with the "reliability", the argument that solar is all well and good, but because generation isn't uniform, it can't fully replace fossil fuels. And I can see the argument for using nuclear for base-load and supplement with solar as it's available to use.
i know what they're saying, but they're objectively wrong. Sure it's hard, it's not the most trivial thing to do. Harder than engineering, designing, and building a CCG turbine plant from the ground up? Highly doubt it, probably more expensive though.
Nuclear base load is an incredibly good strategy though, although nuclear isn't fossil fuels, so.
