Yeah, that's why California with >10GW of installed battery is not using gas/not importing at all in off peak hours... Oh wait

  I know it is hard to grasp trends when you are dead set on seeing nuclear power as the only solution, but maybe look at the curves? California has vastly reduced the fossil gas usage due to storage. It will only continue. Are they done? No, are we seeing massive change year by year? Yes. https://blog.gridstatus.io/caiso-batteries-apr-2024/ https://blog.gridstatus.io/caiso-batteries-apr-2024/

    I do certainly see how batteries are extending the renewables supply. I also see that there's still a lot of work to do: https://app.electricitymaps.com/zone/US-CAL-CISO https://app.electricitymaps.com/zone/US-CAL-CISO

Which means it can give back 4.6GW for approximately an hour and 15 minutes. After that it is empty.

> 5.9GWh In other words, energy storage to match what the nuke plant will be able to put out 24/7 literally doesn't exist.
