Unfortunately the price of electricity is set by the marginal price of gas. So even when the supply in mostly low carbon, the market price is set high.

This is terribly sloppy journalism. EDF had zero involvement in UK nuclear in 2007, and they're a supplier, not the customer so it's not their decision. HP-C wasn't even shortlisted until 2012. It was ordered in late 2016. And you're ignoring the fact that that main delay was the pandemic.

There's no shortage of lessons in Flamanville for nuclear proponents, but nuclear opponents should also take heed of the IPCC who have nuclear in all successful 1.5-2°C mitigation pathways through 2100. www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/w... There is no 'renewables only' climate objective. Only Carbon matters.

"for some reason you said "it doesn't really help with the demand profile"" It's interesting that you went to the effort of rewriting what I said. Was that just so you could claim the point (UK lowest solar insolation and highest grid demand) was ambiguous? bsky.app/profile/nick...

Unfortunately, it's for the same reason we allow single use plastics, disposable bbq's, vapes and lemon scented wipes wrapped in foil. There's an endless market for utter crap.
