16. "What it will do is ensure our dependency on natural gas power plants" -- No it won't

What it will do is ensure our dependency on natural gas power plants whenever the wind isn't blowing.

This is pure B.S. Hunter. And you apparently missed the part of the OP on battery and hydrogen storage.

We've been through this before, many times. Just to take a couple such examples.

If it wasn't for wind and solar, there would be MORE MWh generated from fossil fuel, not less.

I was an electrical engineer working in an electric utility in generation planning and superintendent in operational planning. But one doesn't need that experience or degree to know this.

And don't give me a lot of bubbly boo about the safe cheap modular nuclear designs just around the corner. We canNOT afford to wait and wait and wait for them. We really can't wait. I've been hearing a lot of wild cheering and bubbly boo about them for more than 50 years. But so far lots of "hat" but no cattle.

When those fantastic nukes come along, realize they are being designed to work well with heavily wind- and solar- systems, at least from what I've read from NuScale and Terrapower.
