    Eh? Renewables are taking over as we speak. Under what rock are you living? Nuclear power plants are outdated, expensive and totally unecessary 🤷

      So far, I haven’t seen renewables actually taking over the baseload for a long period of time, for dynamic demand, renewables are brilliant, but that is not what we are talking about.

        They already do in many countries, please update yourself. The last 5 years saw massive improvements in this field.

          Since you have the data, please share your sources, if renewables have completely been able to run a country for an entire year, that is indeed a huge achivement!

            Yes, there are many countries that achive that (if you include hydropower).
