Didn’t mean to trigger you. Sorry. The point I’m making is that no matter how cheap solar and wind are, with electric cars increasing in popularity, usage is getting more and more lopsided. The network just cannot deal with peak loads, especially in places with harsh winters. Solar and wind are pretty useless at night or when there’s no wind, which is a lot of the time. And thanks for the detailed answer!
- afterburner 4y ago"The network just cannot deal with peak loads" It can if it gets upgraded. Which is happening. "Solar and wind are pretty useless at night or when there’s no wind" Did you forget about the batteries already? And are you forgetting that power grids operate on a continental level? Your power doesn't have to come from next door.
