No, it’s not and you have no clue what you are talking about.

There is a reason even Germany is still heavily dependent on coal despite investing hundreds of billions into renewables

It simply does not work without dispatchable energy sources.

Mycle Schneider does not even have an academic title. He is simply an anti-nuclear activist.

Not going to happen in the foreseeable future. Fossil fuels did not change there relative share the past 30 years.

Which perfectly proves that 90% of the comments in this thread have no clue about energy and think that running a grid on solar and wind only plus some batteries is a solved problem.

Yes, “just” need to build some TWh capacity batteries. No problem at all.

Not going to happen.

So, you are telling me that you can survive by eating seven times the daily ration of an average human and then it nothing the rest of the week?

China is currently building almost 40 nuclear plants at the same time.

Compare the average specific carbon emissions and price per kWh between Germany and France and tell me nuclear is not competitive.

Nuclear is so competitive that they had to ban it in Germany to get rid of it.

Denmark highly depends on imports.

Nuclear power is generated on demand and allows a full decarbonization of the power grid as can be seen France.

Solar just produces when the sun is shining meaning you can’t build a power grid on it.

Just comparing total generation over a year is comparing apples and oranges.

So, you're telling me there is daylight in Spain when we have night in Germany?

Also, have you ever done some research on how winds work? They're usually blowing (or not blowing) across the whole continent.

So, yeah, Dunkelflauten usually cover the whole continent.

We have to build new gas turbines since wind and solar do not provide dispatchable power.
