Yet another article and discussion that mostly ignores the fact that intermittent energy sources are not viable mechanisms for base-load generation. This is a basic physics problem that no amount of legislation or green-virtue signaling is going to make the problem go away.
Until we find a reasonable way to store energy at grid scale, a continued shift to intermittent energy generation will result in dramatically higher prices and dramatically lower reliability.
