I’ll never get behind solar as anything but supplemental or “roof top solar” until we have grid scale batteries that can power more than a few hours. I’m talking about days, because weather events happen. which is what we need to call it “a replacement” unless you live in an area like Hawaii or San Diego that has nice weather year round.

We are deploying trillions of dollars into new gas infrastructure with 15+ year payback periods and 40+ year lifetimes. We don’t need to wait for batteries. The peaker power and minor storage is already here.
