What storage that can provide the same availability and stability as a nuclear power plant? There is no such deployment today, and many of those planned are based on theoretical designs, and are thus with theoretical costs.
- bryanlarsen 4y agoRenewables and storage are anti-fragile. Constantly fluctuating, their capacity to deal with interruptions is regularly tested and measured. They're also small, so any individual failure is easy to substitute. Nuclear plants are quasi-stable. They can work properly for years, lulling their users into a false sense of security. But they do have occasional failures, resulting in massive outages. A solar plant can withstand a Russian missile strike. https://www.pv-magazine.com/2022/06/02/ukrainian-solar-plant-partly-resumes-operations-after-bombing/ https://www.pv-magazine.com/2022/06/02/ukrainian-solar-plant...
