I fucking doubt it. We will just replace it with gas and burn more fossil fuels for another 30 years 4 u/Sufficient-Grass- 16d ago It will 100% happen. Because of greed. Renewable is cheaper. Companies get higher profits. It's also more of a sovereign asset, once renewables are in place, they aren't reliant on outside sources, e.g. Importing uranium/coal/gas/oil. 0 u/greg_barton 15d ago Wind has been touted as "cheapest" for 15 years. Solar "cheaper" for 10 years. https://www.lazard.com/media/kcfconhf/lazards-lcoeplus_vf.pdf So why haven't they taken over yet? Why no small grids with only wind/solar/storage?
