A Powerful Mix of Solar and Batteries Is Beating Natural Gas

   When gas is putting pressure on nuclear this in not good for it either. Bloomberg does have a renewable bias but this is something I have expected for a while as battery prices come down and the technology improves. Tesla built the worlds largest battery bank in Australia which puts it past proof of concept as it is working very well, now if it continues to operate well demonstrating practicality and prices on batteries and solar cells continue to drop the base line argument for nuclear will decline. Well that and I will put it on my house helping to decentralize the grid. Nuclear needs to adapt to a new role if it expects to survive as a power source.
