Just for information, the last giant failure was caused by the lack of flow from the wind turbines (more wind) on a sector not very well meshed, which caused the collapse of the system by overload ... like what it does is not a panacea ...
Exact, the wind turbine poses problems in the absence of wind
If an anticyclone settles permanently on France, we can observe an absence of wind, but it also means that the depressions are near, on neighboring countries or at sea
It is not impossible that a European cover allows to have a constant potential of wind production, still it is necessary that there is a common will.
To return to nuclear power, you should know that restarting or slowing down a reactor requires a 24-hour delay and delicate and .... expensive operations!
It is obvious that if the priority of investments in heating is given to "toasters" and "money pumps" and "air conditioning", we are going straight into the wall.
No question of storing electricity for now, but storing heat, we know how to do it and there is, I think, a voice to dig in this direction. This would meet the development needs of solar.
It seems that chemically, we can create or absorb heat
If anyone has info.
A+
