Yes, and again, with redundancy, so that does mean probably a nuclear plant connected to tap into any part of the grid, even if it’s not normally used. Same with wind and solar, they should help with reducing nuclear power use in nearby grids if they’re overproducing past their typical storage plan. An example of what happens when you try to run a separate grid without that capacity is Texas.

And continued work to reduce the impact of all of these. Better nuclear designs (some places have thorium in the works, and of course there’s always fusion in the future), also improving wind and solar in their materials and construction, something often not talked about. They need to be far more “renewable” recyclable than they are, and less toxic to create. One reason solar is so cheap is because its outsourced to places that don’t have strict rules on where to dump byproducts of their production, and of course cheaper labor. That needs to get better.
