It's so unecessary. Solar + batteries is all we need.

Clearly no concept of what it takes to provide 1MW day and night, year in, year out, never stopping, never slumbering.
There should be a requirement that to post you spend at least 30 seconds thinking about it. How about Alaska in winter. That would be a shipping container sized battery bank per hour of storage, so say 19 in the north. And a solar farm covering several tens of thousands of square metres. Try sweeping the snow off for one of the zillion problems.
