Now we just need a cheap sustainable storage medium for all that solar power and were golden. Anyone?

Batteries would like a word. They’re already storing solar power, getting cheaper, and improving at a pace nuclear construction schedules can only dream of. For longer gaps, pumped hydro and thermal storage can pitch in. Turns out the answer isn’t one magical box, but a bunch of technologies that actually exist.

Approaching this problem like it has one perfect solution is pure ignorance.

There have been 400 nuclear power plants worldwide for 40 years now. The pre-condition to leave nuclear power plants in the dust is consistent, leisurely growth.
