    Yea you’re right.

    People make stupid arguments about base load (nuclear doesn’t match supply demand so it’s meaningless argument) or renewables only being built out for maximum output = highest demand (in reality you need to build minimum output as a function of highest demand. Highest total power will far exceed highest demand and still be cheaper than fossil or nuclear. But people can’t grasp that).

    Finally. Huge interconnectors like what China and Europe are doing/ done never come up.

    It’s just the same old. We built 10% of renewables we need yet we are still using gas. Proof renewables don’t work!
