Ah, so you're pro coal and natual gas then. You do know that it is these source of energy that the grid is engineered to fall back on to even out fluctuations in supply? And that even if the grid was "100%" renewable, it'd end up supplying something like 60% of the aggregate energy from these fallback sources? You can't escape the choice. 100% renewable is a fantasy.

"You can't escape the choice. 100% renewable is a fantasy." It might not be there yet, but it will eventually. How the grid is engineered now is not what it will be in 50y to come. And no, I am not pro coal and natural gas. Don't put words in my mouth, thank you.
