From an electrical grid perspective, wind and coal aren't that different.

Fission and fusion aren't that different, just opposites. One takes radioactive materials and splits an atom making more radioactive waste. Fusion starts with hydrogen, the most abundant element in the universe, and outputs helium. No long lasting radioactive waste and can produce a literal metric fuck ton more energy.

The grid doesn't care about anything other than power. Wind only generates when there is air movement and coal only generates when it's burning.
