    Batteries scale horribly and are extremely toxic themselves.

    SOME parts of Europe are cheap some are expensive and are subject to bad price spikes.

    The reality is we need everything. More solar/wind is great! But we also need secure stable baseline generation that works. Nothing comes close to nuclear.
