This isn't science/political fiction, but Norway is considering "going nuclear" against climate change, which to my mind is the only viable approach, as late as it is because of the pernicious success of the antinuclear movement, that has had the effect of vast planetary scale destruction.
Nuclear power plant proposed for north-eastern Norway
Norsk Kjernekraft has submitted a proposal to Norway's Ministry of Energy for an assessment into the construction of a power plant based on multiple small modular reactors in the county of Finnmark. The company said it marks the first step in the formal process to establish a nuclear power plant there.
In April last year, the municipality of Vardø in Finnmark proposed nearby Svartnes as a possible site for a nuclear power plant to Norsk Kjernekraft, which aims to build, own and operate SMR power plants in Norway in collaboration with power-intensive industry. Vardø municipality and Norsk Kjernekraft entered into an agreement to prepare a report with proposals for a study programme in June 2023.
In collaboration with Vardø, Norsk Kjernekraft has mapped the energy situation in Finnmark, and considered the local conditions at Svartnes. Based on this, a nuclear power plant is proposed with a capacity of up to 600 MWe and an annual output of up to 5 TWh - "enough to triple the power supply in Finnmark".
Norsk Kjernekraft said the report it has now submitted to the Ministry of Energy "describes local conditions for the construction and operation of a nuclear power plant at Svartnes outside Vardø, and which topics will be described in a future impact assessment. The available information suggests that the location is suitable for the purpose..."
...The report says that electricity is currently generated in Finnmark using hydro plants and wind turbines. "In periods of low wind, Finnmark is dependent on supply of power from other parts of Norway and from Finland," it says. "The nuclear power plant will produce electricity completely independently of the weather, thereby providing a significant improvement in the reliability of the power supply throughout north Scandinavia, as well as helping to cover the expected power demand..."
Norway, like Germany, suffers from Dunkleflaute conditions.
It appears that the extreme global heating we now observe because the "renewable energy" scam was successful at attacking nuclear energy - its only reason for being - leading to the atmosphere collapsing.
It will get worse, as the glaciers in Switzerland disappear, and in Asia, when the glaciers in the Himalayas, major sources of water for India, China, and Pakistan, recede.
Have a nice day.
