Well this is just clearly wrong, no? If all electrical conductors in the power grid were suddenly zero resistance, we would only get ~10% more electricity available than today. That's not enough to have such large consequences. We would still be stuck in scaling hell for renewables for several decades.

It's always summer and daytime somewhere!
