Yes the key thing to remember here is that without something to augment it, wind and solar get diminished returned as they become a higher percentage of your generation capacity.
You need either nuclear or some heretofore not invented storage technology (or both) to get a reliable grid where wind and solar are a majority of your capacity.
- nkingsy 6y agoIt seems like we have endless ways to store energy at grid scale but we don't employ them because coal/natural gas is "cheaper" than storage, and likely will be until an industry for grid-scale storage starts grinding down costs (as opposed to piggybacking off of something maximized for power/weight like li-ion).
