    Nuclear energy is slow, which is why things like “night storage heating” where invented, which store the unneeded heat generated at night.

    We have a constant electricity demand and a varying. Especially if we use “smart” devices (nothing IOT, just washing machines only washing during the day) the constant demand can be decreased a lot.

    So as we are awake roughly around the time that we can produce solar energy, and have wind for the constant part, we dont need nuclear power, really.

    Also building these plants takes years which we dont have.

    And nothing is sustainable if it produces non-disposable nuclear waste that will likely live longer than humanity on this planet.
