13. I can understand the "disruptive" part (rain on the pro-nuke parade - waah) but what was misleading?

clue

((((nothing))))

In 2009, wind and PV ADDED +44.8 GIGAWATTS of NEW nameplate capacity.

Global nuclear capacity DECLINED by -1.4 GIGAWATTS

really big positive numbers for renewables and really big negative numbers for stupid nuclear

Now

Do you want to talk about capacity factors - really?

Let's use the the pronucular numbers: 15% for PV and 30% for wind.

Using pronuclear numbers, PV added 1.1 GW in 2009 = the equivalent of a large 1000 MW nuclear reactor, whereas wind added he equivalent of 11.25 large nuclear reactors.

Combined, PV and wind added the equivalent of 12.35 new 1000 MW nuclear power plants in 2009.

Nuclear's negative number in 2009 is still a negative number...

mathematics!

so sorry

solar will save us

no nucular renaissance for you

:rofl:
