I'm saying that prices are falling increasingly more slowly and that using solar+batteries to replace coal, gas and fission power plants will probably not happen.

That ship already sailed, many countries are already doing it.

No, no country is doing it because batteries are far too expensive to replace stable energy sources.

The UK has been burning coal since 1882, and their last coal fired power plant just got it's last delivery of coal [1]

Germany is shutting down it's nukes [2]

Actually, lots of countries are very quickly increasing how much of their energy needs come from green sources [3]

You can't deny reality

Solar and wind energy are impossible without stable energy sources like coal or fission. Solar and wind energy are highly volatile, and battery energy storage is far too expensive.

[grecy]

You already said that, and you're ignoring the fact that many countries are switching from coal and nuclear to renewables, thanks in part to the rapidly falling prices.

just today, the UK had its last coal delivery to a power plant. after that, it's closing and the UK will no longer be using coal at all.
