Because nuclear power keeps being brought up in the replies:
Technically, I know very little about NPPs. AFAIK, they can change their output power only slowly and hence cannot provide primary control. So in this regard they are not different from renewables.
More important, though: nuclear power installation is *way* too slow to compete with renewables. ATM, the PV power installed globally rises more than twice as fast as everything else *combined*. Nuclear is minuscule compared to that.

@sbi I'm planning to shape my life around understanding, installing, and maintaining renewable power. The true benefit of renewables is not in the large scale, but in the small scale. Renewables can massively improve community energy resilience. Renewable energy systems can be deployed at any scale, personal, household, community, state, and improve energy resilience.
