"The neglected factor is the military dependence on civil nuclear industries. Maintaining a nuclear armed navy or weapons programme requires constant access to generic reactor technologies, skilled workers and special materials. Without a civilian nuclear industry, military nuclear capabilities are significantly more challenging and costly to sustain. "

The hidden military pressures behind the new push for small nuclear reactors

If billions are being invested to power submarines not homes, the public deserves to know.

So we have a solution.

Give away 3 hours of electricity for free in the middle of the day. When we have the most amount of negative prices and spare solar capacity.

Perfect for charging evs. Or shifting loads away form peak.

Also a big boom in home batteries is also seeing demand reduction in evening peaks. Charge own batteries, rather then export, then use your own electricity in peak. Or sell it back to the grid when it is needed.

The hours the market wants back: Free daytime power, or a fix for solar and wind curtailment?

What does it mean when an offer appears consumer-friendly but is also system-convenient? And what becomes visible when price is placed beside curtailment rather than read in isolation?

Lots of nuclear trolls/shrills.
Not all of them are real people.

Here in Australia, we have lots of mainly uncontrolled rooftop solar.

The sun shines and The commercial solar farms get pushed out.

The constant on "baseload" coal plants lose money with negative prices. They have started to learn to dance. Like the UK coal plants. Ramping their output up and down. But they have their limits. No longer baseload.
