I’m sure some businesses in Russia will still accept Rubles even though the official currency will be Euros

@11112011 bro you left these and now my cat is cooking dinner thanks

@11112011 15 years yeah, but unless you can find some serious batteries....

@11112011 the problem remains - how do you match the grid load when these things drop off?

@11112011 that synchronisation fragilises the system in proportion to use of renewables

@skells the grid needs to match generation with consumption thats why crying that adding renewables doesnt make sense, u on the field of ideology

@11112011 it's not ideology it's electrical engineering

renewables (other than hydro) are volatile and you need alternatives when generation falls below consumption

It's really not. Add enough renewables and you can have spot prices drop to zero, or even go negative. You're basically forcing the conventional providers to act as grid stabilizers for the renewables, meanwhile they don't get to sell electricity when the grid is producing.
