Just look at the tariffs on solar and batteries from China. Or EVs from China. USA has been slow walking green tech for decades Republicans just turned it up a notch. Balcony solar was made legal in one state just last year.

Meanwhile China has enough solar and wind to power all of USA.

Plenty of other examples are already up and running. Doesn’t take that much money to ask how they already solved the problem.

Wind curtailment in the UK has cost consumers over £1 billion so far in 2025, primarily due to payments made to wind farms to stop generating electricity when the grid cannot handle the supply. This issue is expected to escalate, potentially reaching £8 billion annually by 2030, as the infrastructure struggles to keep up with renewable energy production.

Much more interesting is what UK doesn’t do with that power. Someone should post that article about curtailment problems and how that jacks up people’s power bills.
