If you passively produce more energy than what you actually need, that excess energy can be stored. And even if the stored energy won’t be 100% efficient, it’s still passively produced and can offset the peak hours consumption as needed.
We have a lot of energy storage solutions l, let’s stop the fossi fuels subsidies and spend them on scaling power storage.
And if your only argument is money, then fuck off.
I agree with you on this sentiment, but it is still an obstacle we have to work around because a huge chunk of the world is going to make decisions based on money. But that’s what things like government subsidies are for.
I feel like energy storage has been the challenge since I learned what a computer is, it really is the 3rd wheel of the cab

You have to build and maintain the storage.
Even if the electricity is free you’ll have to replace your battery once in a while and at current prices that is ludicrously expensive.
It’s cheaper to pay an already built fossil fuel plant to idle with spare capacity.
Give it a few years for battery technology and it may look different.
The problem is that the planet is burning right now, but we only talk in terms of profits.
Yeah the fossil fuels industry is “cheaper” because it has a shit ton of subsidies and does not include the environmental cost.
We have solutions that work right now that we could start to build and maintain while reducing/eliminating the most polluting sources of energy.
The solutions don’t have to be perfect, they have to be better. And if your only argument is money, then fuck off.

It sounds like mummy still pays your bills. Troll grade: C-.
This is trollception I guess.
