Just think, all the wind and solar we have now won't even cover charge to discharge losses. What a waste.
For the sake of argument,if the 'public' is not willing to go down the nuclear road,and we need zero carbon power,what other,off-the-shelf technologies do we possess,which are ready to go,regardless of scale?
