      As I said in my comment, yes 100% renewable is possible but adding a bit of nuclear make it easier to achieve and cheaper.

      given that you are so confident of this can you explain how a 100% intermittant grid deals with a two week dunkleflaute? Im keen to know what the solution is given that storage to cover that for the uk currently (without electrifling transport or heating) would cost in excess of a trillion dollars.
