[QUOTE="Swarfmonkey, post: 8880797, member: 144242"] That's not what dispatchable power generation means. Dispatchable means you control the output. A full scale nuclear power station can ramp output up or down as required. With PV and Wind you are [I]entirely[/I] dependant on factors beyond your control. If you want to see an awful lot of money wasted then look at PV and wind. PV in the UK has a capacity factor of 8% at the time of year when demand is highest, and wind turbines have very specific operating envelopes. The Germans even have a word for when both of them are cack - dunkelflaute. That's when their PV and wind turbines are sitting idle at vast expense. [/QUOTE]
