How many years do you have to go back before "just roll out lots of solar" was the silly hippy-dippy answer that all the sophisticated commenters who got their information via unofficial fossil fuel PR laughed at?
Remember when solar was the big problem that no one had a solution for? Turns out we did.
The future of energy is a lot of solar and a lot of batteries. Some other stuff will be involved but those two will do lots.
We're already at the point where new build pumped hydro doesn't make financial sense unless you have other needs for a big pile of water. Solar and batteries will beat it.
