Didn't say that, but they are having days and in Portugal this last March where 100% of the nation's power was generated by renewables. Costa Rica has done even better. Denmark has had days where it is exporting wind driven power after 100% of the nation's needs have been met.No nation has 100% renewable power. Fact check please.

Actually Cast, I don't think anyone disagrees with your assessment that for the time being a steady state of power be it nuclear or gas is required for the valleys when renewable energy is low. But with time, more solutions are coming forth and will become practical. In the meantime, just dramatically reducing losses and aggressively working on conservation will reduce those dependencies. If you compare where the world was at the turn of the century and now, a lot of progress has been made.
