Bald assertions do not refute reality. Here is a year old article on the DC replacement package, and there are lots of CPUC PDFs that are more recent and go into more detail: https://www.canarymedia.com/articles/solar/california-approves-11-5-gw-of-zero-carbon-resources-by-2026-no-natural-gas-required https://www.canarymedia.com/articles/solar/california-approv... > we've pretty much tapped out on sources of geothermal No, the technology is changing and there are far far more sites due to enhanced geothermal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enhanced_geothermal_system https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enhanced_geothermal_system > Lithium for long-term grid scale storage (let's say, on the order of even a day, though in reality we need a few weeks of storage) is never going to work. The GW and GWh of deployed lithium ion batteries seems to disagree with your unsourced version of reality... > Congress can pass any bill they want, but physics wins every time. I've found that people that say that "physics" is why we can't deploy renewables never, not even once, can back up their assertion with any physics. It's a dead give away that you haven't even evaluated the problem. > In all your research around energy, did it ever strike you as odd that no region in the world is powered by renewables Before there was a telephone network, did it ever strike anyone that because it didn't exist, it would never be possible? Energy technology is changing at an immense pace, and anybody who says "we can't do it because we haven't done it before" is not really thinking about reality. Germany is always brought up as if it is some sort of energy disaster, and even if it were, it would not disprove the ability of renewables to power a grid. There's all this vague rumors and unsourced assertion about Germany really screening things up, but no technical details, quantitative assertions, or benchmarks that back that up.
