But you've just done exactly what I said people do wrong. Why do people only consider absolutes when talking renewables. We're not relying on a single source, and we're not relying on countries exactly the other side of the world. Sure you don't have to have a single wire from one side of the planet to the other, but that's the point in a power grid. Even connecting two solar farms to the grid a time zone apart provides an extra hour of power to each of those time zones and reduces the risk of a single cloud bringing the country down And as for the rest, you know what the electricity grid is right? Cables already run around the country, and if anything this reduces the strain on single connection as there are lots of smaller generators dotted around the country rather than a huge point of failure connected to a single power plant
