Interesting study. However, I think we’re past the point of studies informing our decisions here in the US. I still thought it was really interesting to read.

Rest of the World: Sweet as. More for us.
I feel like adequate energy storage would at least alleviate some of the worry on days when there is less production. There has to be days when there is too much energy produced and rather than wasting it, find some way to store it whether it's batteries or something else.
I'm hoping those salt batteries pan out.
Yeah, I was thinking of a storage shed that is a battery backup, maybe underneath the floor so the space can still be used.
OF course they're more prone to blackouts, and what the study says is that they're less likely to cause severe blackouts than traditional power systems, because they're distributed so that reduces the likeliness; and grids rely on other systems as baseline anyway.
however, these renewable energy solutions rely on specific weather conditions
Not offshore though.
