Pumped storage, grid scale batteries and syngas all exist. When combined with solar and wind they can all easily compete with nuclear power on cost, they're ju

  > Pumped storage Very limited in where you can build it > grid scale batteries Don't exist. You severely underestimate the needs of the grid > syngas Aka burning furl and calling it carbon neutral. And have they passed the 1MW mark

    >Very limited in where you can build it There was a scientific study that looked this precise question and found 10x as many sites as necessary >grid scale batteries Don't exist. Your assertion is trivially disproven with a quick google. >Aka burning furl and calling it carbon neutral aka making hydrogen from excess solar/wind, storing it, burning it and turning that into electricity. it's unfortunately only 50% efficient but that still makes it cheaper than nuclear power.
