I keep having people tell me that renewables plus storage can deliver "firm" power cheaper than nuclear.
On a generous estimate, you'd need 8 GW nameplate capacity of generation plus 96 GWh storage to serve a 1 GW load with reliability. Passing over the fact that NOBODY IN THE WORLD has 96 GWh of storage (the UK has about 30, for an average load of 72 GW), you'd have to inflate the costs of nuclear to Hell and gone before that would be cheaper than 1 GW of fission.
