> Or you burn a small amount of gas when these rare occurrences happen to coincide. But this presents a different problem: Instead of having to maintain several hundred GW of natural gas plants that you use on a daily basis, you now have to amortize the same cost even though they're only being used five days a year. At which point the incremental cost of building the same capacity in nuclear, which generates power 100% of the time and allows you to avoid not only the natural gas plants but that amount of solar and storage, is looking pretty good.
