...other than pumped storage, demand shaping and more grid interconnects.
- p1mrx 5y agoDemand shaping doesn't really solve the energy availability problem; it's "giving up, with computers."
- pydry 5y agoWind and solar solve the availability problem - at a fraction of the cost of nuclear power.
- yellow_postit 5y agoLet’s do both! All the things you listed are exciting advancements but lacking the track record of nuclear.
- tenuousemphasis 5y agoPumped storage isn't a generic solution. You need two huge volume reservoirs with as much vertical separation as possible. That's just not feasible in most places of the world. https://dothemath.ucsd.edu/2011/11/pump-up-the-storage/ https://dothemath.ucsd.edu/2011/11/pump-up-the-storage/
