>Across the country, the amount of wind, solar and battery projects seeking connection to the grid has swelled to more than 2,000 gigawatts — far outpacing the total 1,250 gigawatts of electricity generation capacity of all existing power plants on the U.S. grid today. While only about a quarter of that backlog is ever likely to get built, it underscores both the pent-up demand for what’s become the lowest-cost source of electricity and the problems that are preventing it from being brought online.
Get yourselves batteries people. And tell your representatives to stop funneling money to oil and to get it to electrical infrastructure so that the large projects can be brought online. Funny how America is pretending to be green but producing more oil right now then at any other point in history.
And then wait for them to work out how to charge you for it anyways!
