Mr Pfluger of Texas
"Are renewables baseload capable?"
Dr Lott
"Renewables are not 24/7/365 capable in an economic way, technically as an engineer I can design you a system but then we have to pay for it. So what we find is you want a mix of renewables because they are cheap when they are there, you want to compliment them with storage and you want compliment them with firm dispatchable power that can be there 24/7/365 and design the markets to that everyone can get paid effectively to keep their systems well maintained and online."

Hon. Clark
"With regard to the RTOs, taking off from where Dr Lotts was, I agree with everything that was said, there be mix of efficiency, demand response, solar, batteries, renewables and dispatchable capacity designing a market around that is extraordinarily difficult because the markets are designed to run what's cheapest to run right now and that has been a 20 year process trying to get those market signals correct."
In the end someone has to take the risk and do it as our world is only the way it is today because of entrepreneurs that took the risks. This forum has more than a few serial risk takers I deduce, including myself.
Go build something they tell me, Ok.
