Then all you need to make it work is an impossible amount of battery capacity that doesn't exist.
So what's the solution if we want to maintain some semblance of 'normalcy',without a carbon footprint?
I know your on board with nuclear,and you're already driving an EV,and doing home PV and carbon-neutral heating.
What are some of the other technological options available?
Should we attempt utility-scale energy storage if it can be done?
