Electricity demand does fluctuate, but so does supply from renewables. I think it is easier to store excess power than to deal with power shortage in case of bad weather.
- bayesian_horse 3y agoDoesn't matter the source of the energy if you have to store it anyway. With nuclear power the "good weather" is the actual problem.
- acidioxide 3y agoIt is true that the problem of storing energy exists in both cases, but as far as I understand with renewables you lose reliability (in comparison to nuclear power).
- bayesian_horse 3y agoIn practice you don't. Nobody wants to transition to renewables over night. And so far it works quite well.
