Which is more practical in the long run: wind/solar energy, or nuclear energy? (sh.itjust.works)

With the ever-ongoing ‘progress’ of the proposed UK nuclear power plants, I wonder if this is the best course of action (not just in the UK, but across other nations also)?

sure, it's just that simple. It's not efficient and pumps wear and need maintenance.

    I think wikipedia gave water pump gravity battery a 60-80 percent efficiency rating, and also said that they can even lose energy. But so what, there's always going to be peaks and troughs in renewable energy production, still a good idea to put the excess to use somewhere.
