Comment Comment by q1w2 Renewables cannot store sufficient capacity to make up for their variable output.A cloudy/windless 2 week period in December, would require far more battery capacity than is possible - even with future tech.Nuclear is the only solution that is carbon free.Solar and wind are great for non-critical/non-time-sensitive power consumption.Remember that they are only cheaper than Nuclear if you exclude storage and include the insane Russia-inspired regulatory blocks we impose on Nuclear. parent q1w2 2 years ago
