Also, nuclear power is also unreliable because they regularly gets shut down for maintenance or safety reasons.
This sounds like one of those bizarrely bad anti-nuclear talking points.
Everything needs maintenance. That’s how literally everything works. But nuclear is by leagues and bounds more stable, predictable, and reliable compared to every other power source. Cold, hot, light, dark, windy, calm, rain, snow, desert, it doesn’t matter. Nuclear just works.
Last year Sweden had some really high power prices and part of the problem was that multiple reactors where shut down for extended periods of time.
Its not an attack on nuclear, it’s a defense of wind. No system is perfect and you can’t say that wind is unreliable and then ignore that we had reactors be shut down for multiple months.
