I think what people fail to see is that renewable is not just solar or just wind or just hydro. It is a mix of these that will get us there. Each has pros and cons and we need prices for the whole group to come down. And they are, at a very sharp rate. Just that it may not be visible in every part of the world.
I am very hopeful that our grids will be powered by a mix of renewables that cover most hours in a 24 hour cycle with some mix of energy storage.
Also, as individuals, we are buying more of our own generation and storage needs, which I feel is great for reaching to places that the grid has not be able to.
- rswail 5y agoI expect that within 10 years, our (Australia) grids will be entirely renewable with hydro-pump/battery storage for base load. Australia has the highest penetration of household solar (20%) and that is unlikely to slow. Coal generators are already almost a stranded asset and gas plants for FCAS are obsolete.
