    So your grand plan is to keep carbon emitting sources until batteries can completely cover the baseload in all conditions? That’s a non-solution.

    Batteries, limited as they are, can certainly mitigate ramping issues with nuclear, though.

      No, that’s not it. Ultimately a mix of renewables will replace everything. Add say tidal and pumped hydro plus maybe some geothermal etc. and you don’t need any non-renewable energy sources.
