Have you ever looked at a graph of wind generation? There are periods of multiple days with minimal wind

If you disagree with the view that half a day of backup is reasonable, then provide a specific number and justification.

Yes, obviously I did because you responded to it below.

I find it amusing that when I cited a study that modeled exactly this scenario you poured scorn on it because it was modeled around a specific country. You didn't respond with actual figures demonstrating that this altered the results significantly, you just said "AUSTRALIA EASY MODE".

Seriously?

Yet the guy that presumed that the wind doesnt blow... ever? You didnt respond to that.

It's an interesting insight into the mind of a nuclear activist.
