Mostly we don't use energy at night. In the UK there is a peak in the morning. In the UK we mainly use gas to fill this. We will have to find a storage solution as nuclear can't be upscale that quickly. Gas was meant to be used just to fill the gaps but it's quickly become a staple.

We need to find a way of smoothing the graph. Energy storage is the best option in the short term.

Or we can vary use.

We have to be careful. Different counties have very differnt energy make ups. I live in the UK where nuclear is

I don't understand where you got 40% from. This seems arbutrary.

In the UK Nuclear is 15% and renewables about 40% (over the last year) we mainly burn gas for the rest.
