Nuclear is the only possible source that can provide enough power to run a 21st-Century lifestyle even when you take into consideration population growth and depletion (or compromise) of natural resources.

The issue is never the issue. The real issue is the revolution.
Well, Bill Gates has a solution to that.
Eliminate 80% of world population.
Such Insanity!
It is not about the environment, it is not about whether it even works or not, it is all about centralized power and control. It is just the vehicle they are using to do it.

If only he and the rest of the Davos crowd would walk the walk and get to the nearest suicide center...well, its at least a start...
New York is counting on using Canadian hydropower.
Of course, Canada might decide to go Greta and uses its own hydropower to do so. The Canadian national government could void the hydropower contracts made in Quebec.
each windmill takes 80 gallons of oil every year.
“Eliminate 80% of world population.”
The spy novels and movies featuring James Bond were marvelous entertainment. Usually, there was some evil billionaire who had grandiose plans to take over the world. A lot of those plans involved killing huge segments of the population. If I recall “Moonraker” involved killing everyone and repopulating with weirdly happy looking gorgeous couples. The thing is the fantastically fast advance of technology and the huge concentration of capital in the hands of a few idiot savant billionaires puts all the tools necessary for such grandiosity into the hands of a few individuals.
It is impossible to legislate safety regulations to restrain people who can buy countries. Earlier this year an economist predicted we’d see the world’s first trillionaire by the end of 2025. I have no problem with people being incredibly rich. Most will invest and do mostly good things that will further jobs and employment. But sometimes they become weird activists like Gates. The Dunning Krugger effect kicks in and they bloviate about saving humanity...apparently by killing off humanity. The fact that Gates has said some threatening sounding things, and he’s invested in biomed makes me feel a bit creepy.
EV batteries could be used to smooth out supply.
If you need to drive 20 miles the next day and 27 miles the following day and your EV has a range of 290 miles, a major part of 243 miles of electricity capacity could run your house.

Generating electricity is cheaper than storing it.

Bill Gates isn’t the only globalist who wants us dead.
If, at some point in the future, there are a couple of breakthoughs in battery tech, solar and wind could become viable energy sources.
They already are in specific situations.
Battery tech is increasing in incremental fashion. I expect the energy density of current batteries will be doubled in a decade.
Some argue that the real wealth in the world isn’t in the hands of people like Bill Gates. Global wealth - in the trillions (allegedly $454 trillion in 2022), is in the hands of very old bloodlines. These are the people that Gates and other billionaires get their marching orders from - the trillionaire families that own most of the world’s wealth.
“These are the people that Gates and other billionaires get their marching orders from “
I’ve known some wealthy people. They don’t take marching orders from nobody. People who aren’t dependent on a wage job, even if they’re not “wealthy” in the sense of multimillionaires* or billionaires, don’t feel the need to bow to anyone. Think about the egos we’ve witnessed from the public appearances of guys like Gates. Can you see them taking marching orders from anyone?
* I don’t consider someone with a mere million or two to be “wealthy” in the sense that they can just drop everything and jet off to some far away exotic location. They’re just upper middle class. Thank the government for doubling, and then doubling again the money supply. What used to be, say, a half million in savings is now a million and a half, but no net gain in purchasing value. If you don’t think so, price a luxury truck.
***But the back-up source will by hypothesis be woefully underused and idle most of the time so long as most of the electricity comes from wind and sun.***
The back up sources would have to be natural gas or nuke plants as a coal fired plant requires three or four days to start up from a cold start. From a hot start it still requires as long as 8 to12 hours to get it back up to full efficiency.
Then they will be twice as deadly. Because energy resents confinement and wants to be free.
Wind and solar energy are both essentially obsolete technologies. There is a reason why only the very rich or the very adventurous sail across oceans: the wind is unreliable, and at best produces relatively little energy. Nevertheless, liberals have concocted fantasies whereby all of our electricity, or perhaps our entire economy, will be powered by those fickle sources.
There are a number of reasons why this will never happen, but a paper published last week by Center of the American Experiment argues that land use constraints are the most basic reason why wind and solar are inexorably destined to fail. The paper, titled Not In Our Backyard, is authored by internationally recognized energy expert Robert Bryce, producer of the terrific documentary Juice: How Electricity Explains The World and the book A Question of Power: Electricity and the Wealth of Nations....

Also telling is they've hijacked another word with a long-established meaning and mis-redefined it for their own nefarious purposes.
"Renewables."
The First Law of Thermodynamics, ΔU = Q - W. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed.
So why does a thing that can be neither created nor destroyed need "renewing?"
The simple answer is, it doesn't. Wackadoodle re-definitions like they've created for "assault weapon" and "gender equality" and "environmental justice" and "renewable energy" are nothing but flag poles to rally the sheeple around.
It's a head-feint. What magicians call "misdirection," a gunshot in the back of the auditorium while Houdini leads the elephant off the stage.
And it's a certain sign you're being hoodwinked.
Nuclear is the only possible source that can provide enough power to run a 21st-Century lifestyle even when you take into consideration population growth and depletion (or compromise) of natural resources.
He is evil. And he is powerful.
His father was involved in Eugenics. Long ago. The propaganda likely affected Bill at an early stage.
He is deep into the Globalist Cabal’s Propaganda and Lies.
He cares not about humanity.
