So much hassle - why don't we just get rid of electricity?!

A better measure of storage would be hours of average grid demand. The French got to 150% of demand in fifteen years with nuclear. Over the past fifteen years Germany has barely got to twenty-five percent with wind and solar. Meanwhile the prospect of South Australia getting to 100% with renewables by 2027 looks slim.

Maybe because nearly everyone would die in a year or two?

Perhaps the Marxist's (including Green's, Labor) and the Arab's are using propaganda against nuclear for geopolitics. There are dangers with any technology and possibly the US needs different rules and people of better integrity (perhaps the CIA needs to vet the character of certain executives not all but some). Fascinating.

Technology is no danger but when accessed by people with poor mentality it can be as bad as armageddon.
It beats me why so many educated aren't smart enough to use their education !
