But we can't store all that summer sunlight for winter. I'd love it if we could!

You said batteries were useless in weather like this I pointed out that is not true, Alberta should be battery buffering our power grid. I get your point they are not going to solve the problem of generating electricity that's a given. And will say it again I HATE wind turbines they are a blight on humanity.
I agree with Bill Gates we need to make modern nuclear plants, why is this not being done? Say in 40 years we replaced most coal and gas powered stations with modern nuclear systems we could power 100's of millions of electric cars with almost zero carbon footprint.
