I do not have to ask myself the question: I follow energy policy closely and also look at actual data. Of course, we need a solution for time when there is no wind or solar. But this - very obviously - will not be nuclear. Nuclear is far too expensive and everybody who only blames this on regularization only is delusional. The solution will be demand shaping, storage, and gas peakers and this will be driven and optimized by market forces.

Also: What is bullshit are estimates for nuclear cost: Projects are started with clearly "optimistic" ideas about cost and end up being completely over budget and it never works without the tax or rate payer footing the bill. Wind, on the other hand is now a huge industry which would not have the growth rates it has even the economics wouldn't work.
