Out of curiosity, are we at the point where renewables would allow us to support a 24/7 grid?
I know that the ‘SOLAR/WIND ISN"T RELIABLE’ is a republican talking point, but it’s also a legitimate issue - standard nuclear / fossil fuel grids are more consistent, and brownouts are a really bad idea for any major area. Last I heard, the plan was basically big batteries to stabilize it out, but does this really account for that or is it just saying ‘you can get X GWH out of renewables vs X GWH out of fossilfuel at the same price’?
