>Right, but then how do you displace the remaining fossil fuel use? The cost effective way would be with wind farms, pumped/battery storage and demand shifting. (this would be a nice problem to have, by the way, but we are STILL churning through terawatt hours of gas while the sun is shining and the wind is blowing all over). Nuclear power isnt dispatchable. It's not just 5x more expensive. It would overproduce during times when we don't need electricity and underproduce when we do.
