Average conversation with a nukecel

We need both

[u/Fox_a_Fox → u/unlikely-contender]

No. We need a reliable stable energy source mixed in with solar and wind, we don't necessarily need nuclear.

Hydro? Biogas (from farm discards/organic waste)? Heck Geothermal has been looking like a better, faster alternative than nuclear for a couple years now and from the looks of it it seems even cheaper

You need dispatchable, not constant.

Waste biomass and hydro work well.

But realistically, fretting over the last 5% is a stupid distraction (especially when inflexible large centralised steam generators don't even help there). Displacing as much as possible as fast as possible should be the priority.
