Sure thing star_wraith! Asking for the source is better than that user running around downvoting literally every comment that has a perspective other than ‘nuclear power is the only possible path forward, I swear’ hahaha uuuuh
It’s kinda country-by-country. Usually the inventory studies are done on the national scale. I remember seeing one for my country and it was like ‘whoooa, we actually could do it?!!’ Canada has nuclear power, but 58% of our power comes from hydro.
But here’s one looking at all of north america which finds, even when you consider the economics of doing it under capitalism, it’s possible to do it by 2030. It is entirely technlogically and economically feasible, even in the most consumptive place on earth, it is only a matter of political will. This is a really good, in-depth study.
There are, genuinely, countless studies like this haha there exists multiple for every country and region of the world. It’s well-established science now, even though the literature is as pay-walled and difficult to access as always hahah. This one’s free tho :)
