100c/$ x $140/kWh-st x 11.2 GW-st x 4h/(208600GWh-el/y x 15y)=0.2 c/kWh-el

Battery pack storage costs for WindWaterSolar are dropping so low that they eliminate the argument for using fossil fuels or nuclear moving forward.
Battery pack prices for stationary storage now down to $70/kWh in 2025, a 45% decrease in just one year.

Do wind turbines kill whales or increase electricity costs? NO!
"No one wants to add any energy source to the environment, but since we need energy, we should pick the least harmful, most beneficial, and least-cost source, and wind is one of these."

And look, the batteries run all night.
During 2025, batteries produced 71% of the GWh output as California's 2 nuclear reactors, but the batteries always fill in gaps where electricity is needed; nuclear, on the other hand, runs even when it is not needed, increasing curtailment & electricity cost
