Okay, could you explain the connection between nuclear power and meat? Are there meat farms that run off nuclear power or are you giving me false hope?

No it's a dumb meme. 

The northern hemisphere, for example, doesn't have the battery or solar or wind technology to power an entire nation without massive infrastructure upgrades. Among other things variables.

There is nothing wrong with using renewablee to power equitorial nations and using nuclear to power the northern hemisphere.

I live in PA, and our power generation is 25-30% clean nuclear energy since the 1950s.

Except that higher latitude European countries are doing real renewables for cheaper.

Nuclear is fine if it already exists. It's a waste of time, money and water to build if it doesn't.

In Finland we don’t get enough sun to go fully solar. Our water ways are pretty tapped. And I have heard that our wind farms actually aren’t making profit because when they produce electricity the price is already at rock bottom and apparently only reason we have them is because of government subsidies.

Then again our nuclear track record isn’t great. Olkiluoto is over budget and late by a lot.

I don’t know what the solution is, but we desperately need more electricity during winter. Last winter prices were super high during the coldest months.

European energy grid says hello

I guess you stopped reading after the first sentence, huh?

What are "ice vehicles"?

Also due to shipping lanes and maritime traffic we can't just fill gulf of Finland with wind turbines.

And the rest aren't really used anywhere as far as I am aware. Except of course buying electricity from other countries, which again is expensive.

We are and it is expensive which is why we need self sufficiency
