Sounds like you're mostly unaware of the issue that trying to compensate region, country and sometimes even continent wide lows/peaks would require many gigawatts of transmission capacity in the form of cables in arbitrary directions. Even if the European grid is well interconnected it's painfully far from handling such situations. And that is not even accounting for the fact that right now only a small proportion of total energy use is transmitted electrically, which means that with future energy generation becoming greener being strongly tied to having more solar/wind (which is also electrical), there will anyway have to be a massive increase in grid capacity. > Currently, clean energy is the dominant form of energy in many countries already (e.g. Europe, China, parts of the US) Just not true. Yes, some countries are (Iceland is one of the few) but most European countries are far from what you claim. Maybe you meant energy transmitted as electricity instead of all energy. See https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php/Renewable_energy_statistics https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php... Quote: > In 2019, renewable energy represented 19.7 % of energy consumed in the EU-27, only 0.3 % short of the 2020 target of 20 %. > The share of energy from renewable sources used in transport activities in the EU-27 reached 8.9 % in 2019.
