You cant 'real; world' engineer things that have never been built before.
Like all-renewable grids.

There are some small one's around in Australia's remote outback. They replace diesel generator sets that need a truckload of diesel every few weeks. They seems to work well.

Yes, of course you can. You have to consider all the possible problems as
well as the benefits.

No. You do.

You thought that you did, and you think that the conclusion is absolutely clear. You do go in for a lot of self-delusion.

Nuclear power beat renewables hands down on every metric - cost, reliability, carbon emissions, environmental impact - you name it, nuclear was better, to the point where it was not wrong to say that 'renewable grids will never work'.

Except that when anybody tries to build a nuclear power plant it seems to take a lot longer, and cost a lot more, than the initial estimates.
Renewable power is generated in much smaller modules, which can be mass produced. Big wind turbines are large, but they are still mass produced.
Theories about costs and output get tested whenever a bunch of modules get stuck together on-site and wired into the grid.
Building nuclear plants takes long enough that pretentious twits like you can spend quite a while posing as experts - and getting over-paid for their services - before their incompetence catches up with them.
