   @darnell huge batteries can fill the gaps much better than gas.

   Scientists have calculated and published it for many years now: Europa can supply itself fine with wind, solar, water, ...

   there are many ideas. China just these days has finished a gigantic air pressure storage facility.

   in France there is a interesting wind to H2 project...

   like coal and nuclear heating up rivers we now build huge heat pumps to get energy out of the rivers (which cools them also...)

   fusion reactors might also come, but the realistic outlook is at least 40-50 years due unsolved problems. And the costs will be high.

   Last year a calculation circulated: if we had more solar and wind installed already + power lines for distribution elec. power in Germany could be 20-25% cheaper! With existing technology.
