We just had rolling power cuts at sundown during the height of summer in California, largely due to over reliance on solar power. We urgently need better energy storage technologies.
- olivermarks 6y agoCurious why this was down voted? Solar is now creating a lot of power in the sunbelt states but California has no way to harvest and store it for later use. Hawaii has a much more advanced approach on energy storage
