A surplus is useless without storage, and with projected battery production capacity having enough grid storage is a pie in the sky. Every western country + China will be clamoring for batteries, on top of virtually every industry.
The only solution I hear from “green” people is the “future battery technology” MacGuffin.
- oezi 3y agoThe surplus in summer during noon isn't useless bit rather means that during morning and early evening we need less fossils. This is the main point of all of this, remember? A surplus also leads to reduced prices which enables novel uses such as charging an electric vehicle for very little money. This replaces CO2. The market will be clever to profit from the available cheap electricity.
