Opinion
Dell: Cheap solar and storage will make nuclear economics unviable
“My opinion is that the rate of solar deployment will go up so fast as the costs continue to go down that it might just not matter. That we'll have so, it'll be so easy and low cost to deploy solar and storage that the economics of building nuclear reactors jus…”

Assertion Supported
Dell: Power generation costs dropped significantly while transmission costs climbed
“The cost to make the electron has gone down really significantly over the last 20 years, largely driven by the build-out of solar. But the cost to move the electron has gone up very significantly because our infrastructure is aging, and utilities have this kin…”

Assertion Supported
Taylor: Nuclear energy causes fewer deaths per unit of power than solar
“Nuclear energy is the safest form of energy, empirically. If you look at the amount of power generated versus the amount of deaths it's even safer than solar, which is very strange, because how does someone die from solar? But actually, most solar is installed…”
