If only we had invented energy storage!
Fiction land storage does not count.
Be specific and don’t lie with generalisations that don’t apply at scale for the grid. And don’t fan girl Lithium, it has no business case outside of extreme cases and more to the point the world does not remotely have enough.
Also not even an advantage.
France has nuclear capacity for 550TWh/yr at nameplate for a load of 420-500TWh/yr and several neighboring countries that let them use hydro for storage.
They still produce 40-50TWh from dispatchable sources.
If storage is impossible, then we better build more wind and solar instead of nuclear.
