> The biggest challenge with going to half renewables is overgeneration. The state receives power from a number of sources that simply can't be shut down—combined heat and power systems and nuclear plants, for example. Layered on top of that are renewable sources like solar that generate power whether you want them to or not.
What? The biggest problem is the cost of storage, not the fact that the underlying technology is not yet efficient enough to compete with non-renewables cost wise?
Can someone please summarize and explain this article to me? I saw no data, and there was no serious discussion of the underlying technology or economics of solar power.
