Any party like the Greens has to be perfect to gain any chance at taking power. They’ve got the right and far right against them, the neolibs, enlightened centrists, center-left, the establishment, and the vast majority of corporate media all waiting for any sign of weakness.
All of that and they’re far from perfect.
She “may leave”?
It’s hard to care about what someone I’ve never heard of may or may not do.
It’s right there in the article, “To ensure power during such periods flexible energy sources may be used, energy may be imported, and demand may be adjusted.”
And how cheap are renewables when the wind doesn’t blow and the sun doesn’t shine?
That’s why I included storage in my comment. Wind and solar are very predictable across a longer time frame.
The UK has periods where there is not enough wind or sun or battery storage to sustain demand.
Really? Can you provide a source for this?
This is a decent place to start:

Solar PV + Storage—Utility - $61-$156
U.S. Nuclear - $175-$255
This was one or the few areas I didn’t align with the Green Party before, as I believe that a bit of nuclear is kind of necessary to help round out less consistent energy sources as things stand. I think this is a reasonable stance.
Not to be too much of a dick but this is pretty typical of the pro-new nuclear mindset.
You “believe”? You don’t have to believe, there is plenty of hard data showing that new nuclear is a massive waste of money now renewables and storage are so cheap.
I think this is a reasonable stance.
It’s not, unless you want to pay more for electricity for absolutely no reason other than because you feel like you should.
I’m surprised that none of these goons have been shot yet.
