Do you have the calculations for thar 15%? I'd love to fact check it.

Quick search didn't found me that report from the iae. You should probably pass me a link so I can fact check it too.

My country is not the USA, we do not have those ridiculous parking places that you guys have. Still renewables takes a ridiculous amount of space. I shall now as the land where I grew up is totally changed due wind power installations. And we are at 50% renewable generation. I fear to think what would become of this land if it was a 100% (that would probably need to be not double the land but 3-4 or more times the land if we want to cover energy usage during not windy months)

I really think that the sweet spot would be about 30-40 nuclear and 70-60 renewables.

You really need to stop following political dogmas, and start thinking.
