In the Introduction, is the 1185 GW the label capacity or the actual power generation? This is important because the actual power produced is usually around 1/3 of the label capacity.

In the second section on the Intermittent Relationship, use is made of what I call "Weasel Words" such as often, tends, and might.

Later the article says the two systems can share one piece of land. True, however the best location for solar panels is usually not the best place for maximum wind.

Taken together, this is an interesting concept to investigate, but not one to get my hopes up just yet.

I still prefer Gen IV (fast) nuclear power generation.
