Delaying the nuclear construction program after 2011 to build more coal power plants instead was a bad decision, much more health impact this way since nuclear plants are way ceaner than coal plants.

Good info. Thx. Always interested in is their system of government better or is our bottom up system better? Many times I wonder? They always seem to have a plan and we don't.

We just seem to be good at social causes?

This is quite misleading as the unknowing on the attribute of electricity as a homogenous thing for consumer.

The stable demand (like in Data Center) don't need the stable supply..

It can be entirely one part of the Total Demand...

I had a presentation on this, and if you don't mind, share me an email address and I can send it to you for check.

In a nutshell,

* Electricity is a homogeneous Product: There is no differentiation in quality or type of electricity delivered to consumers—it is a uniform product.

• Stable Demand vs. Variable Supply: Stable demand does not require a stable supply.

Variable renewable energy sources can effectively meet parts of the demand, e.g. PPA-based.

• Bilateral Trading: Exists primarily in the financial layer, not in the physical operation

of the power system. The physical balance is always "pool-based"..
