False. Multiple countries are already able to run on 100% renewables for prolonged periods of time. The bigger issue is what to do with excess power. Battery solutions can cover moments where renewables produce a bit less power.
We should be able to build them cheaper and faster, not slower and more expensive. And there are countries in the world, that can get it done cheaper, so why can't we?
It's because we stopped building them. We have academic knowledge on how to do it but not the practical/technical know-how. A few countries do it because they're doing a ton of reactors, but those don't come cheap either.
Sure, most countries that already made it use hydro. But Denmark is already up tp 80% without hydro, and the UK and Germany are already nearly halfway there without any meaningful hydro. And there's still so much solar and wind that can still be installed. They're nowhere near their maximum production capacity yet.
100% from renewables is clearly feasible and achievable. Of course it takes time and investments, but nuclear energy will takre more time and investments to get going again.
The polls were accurate, but right near the end Yesilgöz made the critical mistake of publicly stating she'd be willing to work with the PVV. This catapulted the PVV to the top, as he was suddenly a viable alternative to VVD/NSC/BBB for a lot of voters.
We saw this sudden rise in the polls as well, with the PVV suddenly in first right before the election. And that prospect, the PVV being the largest, drew in some more voters to them.
Polls are projections, but they can't factor in unforeseen events between the poll and the election.
