Sad that something like this is even needed but the US world is full of bigoted hypocrites that want to turn the country world into a religious state wasteland.
Personally, I am very disappointed by this weak "compromise". I did not expect a lot from this meeting in a petro-state overrun by fossil lobbyists but seeing what is now sold as big step is very disheartening.
What we need now, to not transform earth into a postapocalyptic wasteland, are renewables. What type of electricity we use after that I don't care about.
I guess i'd rather have them waste their money on low CO2 nuclear than on coal. But in reality, I would like them to not waste their money (and time) and build renewables.
Year to date more EVs have been sold in the EU than diesel cars. A few years ago diesel cars made up ~50% of the vehicle mix (now both are around 14%). Technological revolutions can happen really fast!
Actually, they just can't be ramped, neither fast nor slow. What is done is just wasting part of the (heat)-energy that is produced. If you want to utilize NPPs you need storage, just like with renewables but more expensive to build.
Its nonexistent because its expensive and impractical. Every cent spent for nuclear is a wasted cent because you would get twice the power from renewables. LCOE.
Renewables and storage is what is gonna happen, you can argue against that as much as you want. Growth of renewables is exponential, growth of nuclear is nonexistent.
It will never be built, it will go the way of all nuclear "innovations" and die expensively.
