When combined with solar and wind they can all easily compete with nuclear power on cost, they're just more expensive than natural gas for peaking.
Very limited in where you can build it
> grid scale batteries
Don't exist. You severely underestimate the needs of the grid
> syngas
Aka burning furl and calling it carbon neutral. And have they passed the 1MW mark
There was a scientific study that looked this precise question and found 10x as many sites as necessary
>grid scale batteries Don't exist.
Your assertion is trivially disproven with a quick google.
>Aka burning furl and calling it carbon neutral
aka making hydrogen from excess solar/wind, storing it, burning it and turning that into electricity.
it's unfortunately only 50% efficient but that still makes it cheaper than nuclear power.
