    I agree by and large, but pumped hydro storage is a tried and true technology which has already proven its worth.

      Pumped hydro storage is an energy storage method, not energy generation. Its also the most common form of power grid energy storage, so I have no doubt that the countries that are still using nuclear are storing the excess there.

        I’m simply responding to the comment which called “gravity batteries” bullshit.

          Though the Energy Vault is very much an unproven technology with a lot of problems.
