The need for 100% capacity standby generation/backup power source is a conveniently ignored cost of using unreliable wind and solar power.
THIS ^^^^^
It's been my gripe all along. I wish everything would just have to stand on it's own, including us farmers. Why can't we allow ideas/businesses/people to go broke if their business structure is set up in a way that isn't feasible? Failure can actually be a good thing, it allows ideas and people to be refined for a better chance the next go round. And, people wouldn't take such ignorant risks if they knew failure was an option.
