Ah, so you’ve invented your own definition of the word “state”. And if a “state” is defined by the mere existence of violence, than a stateless society is an impossibility.

In order to create a stateless society, wouldn’t you first have to conquer all other states? Otherwise you still have a de facto state, whether you call it that or not.

Is energy conserved in this scenario?

Ok, but none of that mentions how they plan to account for panels buried under a foot of snow for half the year. That’s the source of the concern, not simply smoothing out daily peaks and valleys.

California didn’t really debunk anything here. It’s a coastal state with plenty of wind and a predominantly warm, sunny, rain free climate. Of course renewables like wind and solar do well. The reliability concerns are usually more prevalent in areas that have much higher precipitation, and especially in climates that get snow.
