Obsolete means we're unlikely to add a lot more energy generation from them - but not that we'll decommission what we have or stop maintaining them. This is especially true for Hydro.
I doubt we'll ever add much more nuclear if not mini nuclear reactors - that's why I'm really excited about the possibilities for them.
- pclmulqdq 4y agoThat's not usually what the word "obsolete" means, but thanks for clearing that up.
- tuatoru 4y agoThank you. To add to that, I said nothing about storage. There is not much clarity about storage as yet. Pumped hydro, compressed air, thermal (hot rocks), hydrogen or ammonia: they could all be viable alongside batteries (for grid stabilization and short term storage). And more besides them, probably. It's also not clear to me which battery chemistries will win for grid storage. Possibly several of them. Storage is where the R&D action is.
