Storage is becoming more diverse and cheaper by the day. A wide array of clean firm power sources such as advanced geothermal power, more scalable nuclear technologies and Allam Cycle gas can compliment variable renewables nicely. PV panels can be built at utility scale far more efficiently than what can be achieved with rooftop solar. Your estimate of rooftop installation is also more than double top end figures so I don’t know where you’re pulling that out of. Likewise your figure for rooftop PV productive life is off by double. I also already mentioned the need for permitting reform so I’m not going to go back and forth with you about the difficult of getting contemporary nuclear plants built

And did you miss the link I provided which recommended we reverse underinvestment in domestic O&G fields via option writing?

Congress just passed the IRA which is going to do a whole lot to unlock clean energy potential, including nuclear. Though a needed permitting reform was supposed to accompany it, and has not yet happened

The government should probably use an option-writing strategy to try and stabilize domestic energy prices in the meantime
