Ugh - why does renewable energy have to be such a politicized issue - the article begins by stating that the president absolutely denied it was due to renewables - only to spend the rest of the article exploring how to handle renewable overproduction so it doesn’t cause grid instability
like can we not tackle infrastructural problems without them turning into a shit flinging contest - people are afraid to say that renewables have any downsides because the fossil fuel industry spends so much on propaganda to politicize energy production - like we’re supposed to argue that unless renewables are flawless there’s no point in even trying
how did we go from reasonable discussions on how to most effectively solve problems (ie climate change) to making sure you don’t rustle oil barron’s jimmies so they don’t oust you out of government?
I’m just hoping people start waking up to how ridiculous this narrative is…
“Oh you want clean air and a stable environment for you children? Have you considered changing nothing and hoping it works out?”
(ps nuclear is cool but wouldn’t have solved the issue of overproduction)

I’d have expected overproduction to push the frequency up anyhow.
