Wind generation isn't coming close to meeting demand and is unpredictable.
If the intention is to phase out fossil fuels then what realistic alternative is there besides nuclear?
And how are we expecting to bring on any alternative generation source within 11 years?

If everyone has electric vehicles and solar panels in their home, could we not theoretically have a system where people can store power in their vehicle and sell it back into the grid?
If I am mathing this correctly, a Tesla battery holds up to 100 kwh, and the peak spot price was $1000/mwh, so you could have theoretically made <$100 by not driving last night and selling the power from your battery to the grid?
And even if you don't have solar, you could have paid $200/mwh for power earlier in the day and sold it back at a higher price?
