      It’s almost as if you can’t just dump more renewable capacity onto a grid and think that will solve our crisis, right?!

        If the grid had more capacity and battery storage it actually would work. This is blocked by stupid politics, not tech limitations

          Yes of course. Almost everything is blocked by stupid politics, not tech limitations. Unfortunately stupid politics is all we got. And that means if we want to make progress, it’s stupid politics that needs overcoming.
