Sure, but solar plus wind does not allow the flexibility to plan for the worst case and come out ahead.

Wind across enough longitude is impossible to not exist at all given temperature differentials creating wind and the rotation of the earth. Wind compliments solar beautifully because things cool off at night from the lack of sun making it produce more power then. If the earth no longer rotates across the axis or the sun goes out the lack of power is irrelevant to in that worsr case scenario.

This is not sufficient. Wind doesn't have to not increase at all, it just has to be down somewhat, or be too high.

you know that after a hurricane it's way harder to restart a nuclear power plant than a wind turbine right? it's incredible hard to power a nuclear plant if your grid is destroyed. basically you can't start a nuclear power plant with no power at all.

Nuclear reactors never completely turn off. They have generators that can supply the necessary power to run baseline systems and to restart them at any time.

that is not true, when there are disasters they sometimes get shutdown, to not have another catastrophe.

and even then just "restarting" it, is not as easy as restarting software.

We know from Fukishima that generators fail.
