“If 80% nuclear power generation is too much for a country’s electricity grid to absorb 24/7 that does not mean that some lesser % such as 30, 40, 50, or 60 might not be very beneficial.”

I think that was the point the author was trying to make. Nuclear power will help us but just not on the level that it has for France or McCain thinks it will for us.

Nobody but this idiot author thinks having 80% of our generating capacity in nuclear is a bad idea. The reason nukes are run flat out is because they are the cheapest most economical source of power except hydro. Unlike hydro you don't have to pray for rain. Hoover dam is running about half capacity for obvious reasons.

Nukes can and ARE throttled back all the time. However to counter this moron's complaints there are so many excellent ways to use the off peak power such as back bay hydro plants, water desalination, ice storage for city chiller loops, hydrogen production and on and on.

This knucklehead is totally speaking out of his ass, and clearly has an agenda other than what is best for America
