It absolutely does, you just aren’t aware of it.
It tells me what would be required to replace it so man up and cite the constant production capability of one of your miracle plants and cite a source.
Ten fingers is all a real man needs.
For peak demand, or load leveling, but that’s it. It’s like claiming your UPS battery for your computer is a replacement for the line you use to power your computer from your local electric company.
Then cite one.
Thankfully battery technology has huge investment for R&D, on every scale. I have zero concerns about this technology advancing to meet the demands within 20 years.
Trump is going to save the coal industry the way he saved Atlantic City.
(On phone, so the fantastic image unavailable.)
None of which has solved any of the problems with storage and the toxic chemicals required to produce them.
And even they are not all that reliable, since water levels change, and environmental conditoions arise to cause them to run at partial capacity.
Only if you ignore on-going research, and think the solutions present now will be the ultimate solution(s). Maybe use google for something other than trying to desperately save face, for once?
Not really since this is a different animal than you’re used to thinking. Even if you did know what peak demand was, without knowing the capacity of an individual station, you can’t know how many would be required.
Bath County Pump Storage Station with a capacity of 3000 MW.
I’m not claiming that pump storage is a replacement for energy production. I’m saying it’s a fix for load leveling which is a principle problem of wind and solar power generation.
That makes no sense.
I love how a person can simultaneously dismiss the logistics of launching nuclear waste into space (something no one is working on), essentially ending on well we can do it “ignoring cost”, while also proclaiming we are not capable of new battery technology to meet future storage requirements (which has vast amounts of R&D).

Yep, already discussed at length previously/ Drought has a terrible effect on hydroelectric power.
So can extreme cold due to icing.
I was thinking the same thing.
In this thread I am simply talking about shifting the environmental costs of using coal onto the production side and not diffuse it out among the commons and how we got to sending rockets full of waste to the sun is where I tapped out.
One actually exists, the other does not.
It isn’t hard to understand.
Charge the producers just like they are charged for the storage.
So how many fuel rods have been launched into space?
