Nuclear power doesn&#x27;t have to compete with solar and wind during quiet winter nights-- it gets to compete against batteries + solar&#x2F;wind.<p>Grids with a lot of renewables are also dealing with a lot of stress on the electrical grid: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.pri.org&#x2F;stories&#x2F;2015-04-07&#x2F;when-grid-says-no-wind-and-solar-power-companys-technology-helps-it-say-yes-again" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.pri.org&#x2F;stories&#x2F;2015-04-07&#x2F;when-grid-says-no-wind...</a><p>It&#x27;s a solvable engineering problem, but the meta operations problem is: &quot;is it cheaper to have a grid that is 50% nuclear and 50% renewable, or a grid that is 100% renewables with a lot of battery-stations to absorb&#x2F;emit the variances&quot;
