Comment on Europe's energy problem isn't green power — it's storage
lemmysmash@beehaw.org 6 days agoThese tools surely do exist, but then we shall be talking not about replacing the energy generation part, but replacing the whole energy supply system. And replacing the whole energy supply system is a compleeeeetely different level of budgets, complexities, scalability issues and so on.

At least in Germany this was the proposition all along. The idea of „Energiewende“ can be roughly translated to „energy transition“ and it implies that you need to change more than just the form of resource that is powering your energy system. Let’s be real: any other approach has to be labelled „naive“. „The sun doesn’t shine in the night and the wind doesn’t blow every day.“ is not an invention of green energy critics, but was always part of the problem science is trying to solve.
