- Comment on On May 1, German ran almost entirely on renewables energy during the day 2 weeks ago:
And that’s how it starts. You add enough wind and solar that they can sometimes provide more electricity than people use. Curtailment orders keep them from causing a problem, but that means wasting otherwise free electricity. So people start installing utility-scale batteries, which soak up that excess, and release it during the morning and evening peaks in net demand. You install even more wind and solar, and people do even more batteries, displacing routine overnight fossil fuel use. Even more wind and solar, and it starts making sense to install low-efficiency long-duration storage, and fossil fuel use disappears completely and permanently.

- Comment on It would require about 31 hectares of corn ethanol to produce the same amount of energy generate 2 weeks ago:
Sure, but the context is that the US dedicates almost half its corn crop to ethanol that’s blended with gasoline. Vehicle electrification + solar panels will free up a huge amount of agricultural land.
