You sure that is due to renewables? Something tells me there is more to it. Prices everywhere are increasing. Nuclear would be more expensive too. Nuclear is a lot of things, but you won't see any return on investment for ages, especially since every single effin plant goes over budget by billions upon billions. Side note for anyone reading. Decentralization of the grid is one of the benefits of renewables honestly.

@paulwary So a few things. One obvious thing is low cost batteries. The technology for energy storage is improving so rapidly. So many different choices are coming out that I can't even keep up. From salt water redox to just all the different lithium chemistries. Also just because it is decentralized doesn't mean each system will be in total isolation. It just means less reliance on huge mega plants. We will still be connected. In fact I was just watching a video on this about Tony Sebas predictions on the future. He has been pretty accurate with a lot of them since at least 2013. Yet he was saying something like we will be over producing at such capacity due to renewables becoming cheaper that we will need just 5 days of storage to totally get off of everything. Something like that Remember solar still produces even on cloudy weather. Now I have to rewatch the video, and look into the time line. Yet that would be wild if true. Basically the future of producing energy isn't the problem. Storing it will be the costlier part, but it will still be significantly cheaper. I'm not sold yet. I still think nuclear is important for baseload or geothermal. Yet both of them are so expensive ATM that I am not sure if they will ever get the attention that they deserve. I'll say this. Hydrogen is never going to happen outside of niche.
