Why mention nuclear but not wind? Wind has nearly as low an LCOE as solar, and is still dropping too, and wind power is anti-correlated with solar power, meaning we get more wind at night and in the winter.

Yeah wind too.

The north, where I live, has lots of windmills and more is being built

> Wind has nearly as low an LCOE as solar

Because production costs aren't what's setting the prices, supply and demand is.

Cheap solar and wind power doesn't help when it's not available.

How much less of a problem is this as batteries improve? Honest question, I never saw this quantified.

It's in german but quite interesting article regarding this : https://www.solarserver.de/2025/12/19/analyse-dunkelflauten-...

What is the insight there about solar and wind depending on sun and wind and how batteries change that? It would be interesting to quantify that. Is there a relevant number in that page?
