We have generation assets close to or at that point of life.

Replacements can be anything, but cheapest new build is renewable + storage.

We are transitioning away from coal, peaking gas plants will have a role but renewable will dominate due to cheapest capital and operating costs.

Oh yes? How is all that storage so cheap? How many hours of storage do you need? 5 hours or 5 days?

What happens when that storage runs out? Do we then just close the whole country and wait for some wind?

We have basically no wind over the whole country now for about 6 hours so far. Has all of that expensive storage already run dry?

You guys are in dreamland.
