Im comparing extremely cheap and green but volatile sources paired with storage with stable energy sources that are either polluting or expensive.


That is a biased comparison. Solar energy is infinitely expensive during the night (which is hardly "extremely cheap"), so you can only realistically compare it in combination with stable energy sources, like power plants or pumped-storage power. You have not shown that nuclear power and solar power are more expensive than pumped-storage hydropower and solar power.

Yeah, or another more expensive form of storage windgas, which I did.

So did you not click on my link or what?
