On: Germany sets new solar-power record

This is not a fair argument. When a nuclear reactor is being inspected, re-stocked, checked, repaired, refurbished, its output equals zero solar panels.

Fukushima's output has been equal to zero solar panels for over a year, despite its incomparably greater cost.

The amount of time a nuclear reactor is offline for inspection, refueling, repair, etc is far less than the amount of time it is dark.

But nuclear plants burn fuel at night when nobody needs the energy. Pumped-storage hydroelectricity is needed for both.

The sun burned fuel for billions of years well there was no one around whatsoever.
