I know I just don't understand the details but I'm always kinda confused about how hard it seems to be to dump excess power off the grid. Is it just really hard to build something that can use enough power even when it doesn't need to do any useful work?
- Gwypaas 4y agoIt is starting to come. People already schedule their car charging when it is cheap. But it does not get built over night.
- londons_explore 4y agoBut, due to the lack of transmission, and the 'single price' scheme, this power isn't cheap. It's expensive, but there is too much of it in one region only.
