This is why we should stop subsidizing wind and solar...
...and instead be funding research into storage technologies that makes harnessing all of this obvious energy practical. How many decades are we behind because we've been subsidizing the wrong thing?
The problem is that everyone understands windmills and solar panels. But few understand how the grid works or difficult it is to store energy and redeploy energy. Windmills and solar panels make for easy photo-ops for politicians, but storage tech does not. Until we convince people that storage is the key, we'll continue to waste trillions of dollars on windmills and panels we can't efficiently use and using carbon-based fuel.
