It's IMO an often overlooked reason to combine nuclear with renewables, and instead of looking at scaling down energy usage to match renewables' intermittent nature, design for overproduction and push it into easy to switch on electrolysers to provide green hydrogen feedstock for steel production, fuels for systems that can't depend on batteries, even CO2-neutral syntin for aviation and space where batteries don't have the density or just don't work.
