the current renewable generation fleet is not dispatchable. Storage could theoretically make it dispatchable, but there is a massive current storage deficit. https://open.substack.com/pub/edreid/p/current-storage-deficit?r=hp9nv&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

The amount of additional renewable generation and storage necessary to replace existing coal generation, no less gas generation, is massive. And, then there is "all-electric everything".

We desperately need some folks in government with basic math skills and perhaps some engineering experience as well. ;-)
