This year, elderly and vulnerable Californians under lockdown were subjected to rolling electrical blackouts during a heat wave with temperatures as high as 121°F. That's because our grid relies heavily on renewables that — unlike nuclear — can't be scaled to meet demand spikes.

How many modern rectors are reliant on easily flooded bellow diesel generators for their backup cooling systems? Despite being Hurricane central the U.S Plants on the eastern coast haven't had issues.

No problem. Wind turbines and solar. LOL
