On Friday, December 9th at ~4:00pm GMT (Greenwich mean time):

  Nuclear: 5.25 GW
  Wind: 3.84 GW
  Combined Cycle Gas Turbines: 23.31 GW
  Solar (Estimated): 0.35GW
  
  Installed Wind Capacity (onshore + offshore): 25 GW [0]
  Installed Solar Capacity: 13.4 GW [1]
  Total installed Wind/Solar: 38.4 GW. Total produced: 4.11 GW

Wind is currently producing 15% of its installed capacity. Solar is producing 2.6% of its installed capacity. Combined, the renewables are at almost 11% of their installed capacity. Gas turbines are making up the difference.

Lots of you are cheerleaders for "renewables". They seem like a transitional technology to me. If hydrocarbons are ever going to be retired from use, nuclear sure does seem like the only option.

It seems to me like humanity's only hope is a breakthrough in our understanding of the laws of nature.
