    You linked the same study that doesn’t even pose the hypothesis for which energy source is more green. All that study did was linked high GDP with lower emissions overall, and low GDP with higher emissions overall and suggested that nuclear and renewables are incompatible, which is pure bullshit. Look at Norway, Sweden, France, Paraguay, Iceland, and Nepal who manages ~90% of total energy production via renewables and nuclear.

    If countries want to reach 100% renewable energy throughout the full year in-house, they will have to use multiple sources due to how cyclical it can be. At least until energy storage gets completely reinvented.

      Sometimed I am astonished that people post in a forum without being able to comprehend text

      We find that larger-scale national nuclear attachments do not tend to associate with significantly lower carbon emissions while renewables do.

        It’s you who can’t read. The whole correlation is flawed by design, hence ignored by me. If you read the limitations section, they explain how they lack specific data for a comprehensive comparison, so they aggregate the data and ignore “economic costs, integrated resource planning, reliability, lifecycle impacts, risk profiles, waste management, and ecological, political and security impacts”. Which are important factors to ignore, which completely changes the results when incorporated by other studies.
