    But then you don’t have power at night. Cost comparisons of renewables vs nuclear very often neglect storage. It is not a trivial cost. Nuclear doesn’t perfectly match demand either, but it can provide a baseload.

    It’s not renewables or nuclear, it’s renewables and nuclear.

      Storage is a kludge. Regardless of the power source, we should be building power plants to consistently exceed electricity demand. The excess power can go towards hydrogen production and desalination.
