Renewables are only competitive because you are not pricing in either storage or the cost of building and running fossil fuel plants as backups.

Add that in and the equation looks substantially different.

You can run power to gas and then burn the hydrogen and still come out ahead of nuclear plants today. They are completely irrelevant.

Germany's new gas (methane...) powerplants are retrofitable in order to burn hydrogen.
