You don't even need sub tropical. Massachusetts, in the Northeast, is showing a real-world strategy for solar. Massachusetts incentivizes homeowners to have their own solar installs. My house, for example, has solar, as do many houses in my town. Yesterday it produced about 50 kWh, meaning I was sending energy into the grid. You might ask, what's the point of solar if there's no storage? Going 100% renewable would be amazing, but reducing CO2 is a win. If electric load declines because more and more homes can produce their own electric, that's a huge reduction in total CO2 that needs to be produced at the power plants. It doesn't mean we can throw away the gas plants, but they can be run at lower capacity. Storage isn't really discussed yet, but maybe one day we'll get there. We're also investing in a huge offshore wind farm.
