"over-building so you have enough in winter" This makes wind and solar much more expensive to the point where nuclear is cheaper.
" we are dealing with exponential change in the price of storage and solar."
But not in grid storage. That is still incredibly expensive.

There are simulation studies like CSIRO's work which show that it's still cheaper than nuclear after you account for everything.

- nradov 7mo agoBatteries are only one of many inputs needed for grid storage.
- gpm 7mo agoBatteries utterly dominate the cost of grid storage... everything else is a rounding error. You're welcome to go find your own data of course, you'll struggle to find more direct numbers because significant grid storage has only become affordable in the last few years.
- UltraSane 7mo agoI will admit you are right when someone installs a grid scale battery with 7 days of storage at at least 100MW of output
