And we do have detailed weather data for the last 70 years in Europe.

So it should be easy for proponents of renewables plus batteries like you to show that their proposed solutions would have worked all those years.

One can do modeling based on weather data, yes. There's even a web site where you can do that and obtain cost optimized designs (under various cost and technology assumptions): https://model.energy/

Nuclear proponents seem incapable of avoiding the exact same debunked arguments over and over again year after year. Did you know that the sun doesn’t always shine? Checkmate solar power! Bet you never thought of that. I am very clever.

They use the bad arguments because they don't have any good arguments. It's a tell.
