Enhanced geothermal obviates need for nuclear & can be used for datacenters
Cost of 100% WWS w or w/o baseload EGS are similar->no baseload needed
100% WWS w or w/o EGS reduces cost 60% v BAU
Low EGS land use helps small countries move to 100% WWS

Yes
E.g., the 11.2 GW/44.7 GWh of battery storage on California's main grid is equivalent to only 0.2 c/kWh-grid-electricity-consumed

8 straight days in January of WindWaterSolar meeting >100% of demand in California.
Gas down 66% v '23
Batteries up 387% v '23
PV up 127% v '23
WWS up 29% v '23

No. The solution is to electrify most all energy, use direct heat for the rest, and obtain the electricity+heat from wind, water & solar while using less energy

Coal power generation falls in China and India for first time since 1970s
www.theguardian.com/business/202...
Enough to meet 61.7% of avg power demand and 33.5% of max demand in 2025 for 3.8 h.
Can be seen in yesterday's record-setting 50.43 GWh battery discharge onto grid
As a result, gas down 68% v '23
