Depends on where you are, up here in Finland we have no solar in the winter when our power consumption peaks. Wind is unreliable and can be too low for over a week.
- pydry 3y agoWind energy is the fastest growing form of power in Finland. Plenty of hydro too. Enough to push electricity prices below zero in may 2023. Luckily youve also got a choice of nuclear reactors built by Russia or reactors where you get the privilege to fight with France over whose responsibility it is to pay for the billions of euros in cost overruns.
- _w1tm 3y agoAnd every time some minor issue puts our biggest reactor offline the price of electricity spikes. Large nuclear reactors are huge single points of failure.
- Krssst 3y agoLarge reactor not generating is a failure (so it does not happen often and steps are supposed to be taken to limit the risk). NREs not generating is normal behavior (it happens often because that's how it is).
- KptMarchewa 3y agoThat's why you need to have more of them.
