European Commission approves Germany’s 30 Billion Euro investment in Offshore Wind

When the grid is sufficiently big they level each other out as has been proven over the last couple years. There isn't always wind at a certain spot but there is always wind somewhere. The idea that it is "wildly expensive to save that energy" is pretty braindead since this surplus energy came almost free to begin with. You lose a lot when you attempt store it, but again, that's not even the idea, it is about the grid.

This would mean you need a grid that is many times larger than what you're actually going to be consuming, making wind even worse yet.

What does that even mean? Nuclear isn't even financially feasible without giant subsidies.

Wind is the one with giant subsidies and Nuclear is the one that's over regulated to the point that you waste more money on bureaucracy than the actual electricity, not to mention that it hinders putting new technology into use, so many reactors are using technology that's 40 years old.

Bullshit. You have obviously not the first idea what it takes to build a nuclear power plant or, even worse, what it takes to eventually tear it down and depose of it safely. Plus the facilities to get the uranium out of the ground, refine it, transport it, remove the waste, store it somehow for a few millennia.

Bullshit. You have obviously not the first idea what it takes to build a wind farm or, even worse, what it takes to maintain one or eventually take it down. Plus the batteries and the expensive materials that don't last very long.

At first I thought you'd be a shill, but I have to correct myself: no shill is that clueless. You are just a kid who has spent far too much time with the other nuclear fanboys at r/worldnews.

At first I thought you're an idiot, but I have to correct myself: no idiot is this dumb. You're just a kid who has spent far too much time with other wind fanboys at r/idiotville.
