The concept of baseline power is no longer needed. Scientists wrote about that for years now. Battery storage and smart grids are growing faster and cheaper than nuclear ever could.

Can storage technology reach 100% coverage by 2050? Because that's the target for net-0 afaik.

If not, we should invest in something else to help us reach that goal, and Nuclear seems the most promising medium-term solution.
